1. A method comprising:
providing a digital design tool;
using the digital design tool to generate at least a first laser file including a finishing pattern,
wherein the digital design tool allows editing of the finishing pattern,
the editing permitted by the digital design tool comprises selecting a first combination of a garment template and a first wear pattern, and saving the first combination as the first finishing pattern, and
the editing permitted by the digital design tool comprises selecting a second combination of the garment template, a first wear pattern, and a first tint color, and saving the second combination as a second finishing pattern; and
using the digital design tool to generate a three-dimensional photorealistic visualization of a finishing pattern of a garment after postlaser wash on a computer screen,
wherein a three-dimensional photorealistic visualization of the first combination comprises displaying on a computer screen the garment template and the first wear pattern as a garment of a first combination would appear after postlaser wash,
a three-dimensional photorealistic visualization of the second combination comprises displaying on a computer screen the garment template and the first wear pattern along with the first tint color as a garment of the second combination would appear after postlaser wash, and
the digital design tool allows a user to change a positioning of a light source for a three-dimensional photorealistic visualization of a garment that is displayed on a computer screen.
