For beverage marketers, packaging designers, and e-commerce content creators, applying custom patterns to can mock ups is a critical step in showcasing products. A well-fitted pattern—whether a brand logo, seasonal design, or promotional graphic—can make a can stand out on shelves and resonate with consumers. Yet traditional pattern application to can models in Photoshop is a tedious, error-prone process. It often involves hours of adjusting perspective with the Warp Tool, matching pattern proportions to the can’s curves, and fixing distorted details—only to end up with a flat, unrealistic result. This is where Nano Banana, the AI-powered feature in the PsAide plugin, revolutionizes the workflow with AI Photo Editing, making can pattern application fast and flawless.
Nano Banana addresses the core pain points of manual can pattern editing by leveraging advanced AI to understand 3D object contours and pattern dynamics. Unlike manual tools that treat the can as a 2D surface, this feature analyzes the can’s shape, curvature, and lighting in the model image. It then adapts the specified pattern to fit seamlessly—adjusting perspective on the can’s body, preserving pattern details around curves, and matching the pattern’s lighting to the can’s environment. Whether it’s a complex brand pattern or a simple graphic, Nano Banana ensures the design looks printed directly on the can, outperforming traditional AI Photo Editing tools in realism and efficiency.

3-Step Guide to Apply Patterns to Can Models with Nano Banana
Even users with basic Photoshop skills can master can pattern application in minutes using Nano Banana. Follow these three straightforward steps:
- Prepare Images and Launch Nano Banana: Open two images in Photoshop (compatible with versions 2015 and above): Image 1 (the specified pattern you want to apply) and Image 2 (the can model image). Install the PsAide plugin, then launch Nano Banana from the plugin menu. Upload both images to the Nano Banana workspace—no additional pre-editing is required.
- Enter the Precise AI Photo Editing Prompt: Locate the prompt box in the Nano Banana interface and type the clear instruction: “Apply Image 1 to the can of Image 2.” This prompt directs the AI Photo Editing engine to focus on precise pattern alignment and natural integration with the can’s shape.
- Preview and Finalize the Result: Click the “Apply Pattern” button. Nano Banana processes the request in 3–5 seconds, generating a preview where the pattern is seamlessly applied to the can. The design will follow the can’s curvature, with consistent proportions and realistic lighting. Save the edited image directly to your Photoshop project for further tweaks if needed.
