The way I do it:
1. Open the template file.
2. Open a new file ctrl+N. Under preset select templateCS.psd its at the bottom, click OK.
3. Click on the template file and drag the layers you want from the layers panel to the new currently blank image. see here:

4. use [ and ] to adjust which layer is at the top - generaly shirt at bottom and wrinkles at top.
5. After you have dragged the layers you want, positioned and ordered them, recolor them.
6. To recolour the layers - right click layer - blending options - tick the colour overlay button - double click the colour square - select - click ok - click ok.
7. To add sponsers and badges get an image of the badge/sponser load into photoshop. If background isn't see-thru. Click the wand tool, click the background of the image, press delete.
8. Resize the badge/sponser I generaly give the badge a height of 8 pixels, and the sponser generaly a width of at most 20 pixels - its just trial and error.
9. Saving file - first save as a psd format with layers intact so you can easily edit later. then save as a png and select the interlaced option.
10. Load up editor or FM to get ID and then test to make sure image works.
