1. A method comprising:
providing a garment previewing tool that allows previewing on a computer screen of a jeans garment customized by a user with a finishing pattern created using a laser input file by a laser, wherein the garment previewing tool comprises
showing a first garment preview image on the computer screen comprising a jeans base image for a selected garment base,
allowing the user to select a surface pattern, wherein the surface pattern is associated with a laser input file to be used by a laser to produce that surface pattern onto a jeans garment,
showing a second garment preview image on the computer screen comprising the selected surface pattern in combination with the jeans base image, wherein the second garment preview image is generated by
generating an adjusted base image from the jeans base image without the selected surface pattern,
generating a pattern mask based on the laser input file associated with the selected surface pattern, and
for a pixel at a pixel location of the second garment preview image, obtaining a first contribution by combining a first value associated with a pixel of the pattern mask at a pattern mask pixel location that corresponds to the pixel location of the second garment preview image and a value of a pixel of the base image at a base image pixel location that corresponds to the pixel location of the second garment preview image.
