No extra parameters. Smart filter rendering is automatic. If the PSD
carries a supported filter, Render a PSD
mockup applies it, and the
requests you already send do not change.
How it works
Keep the filter live on the smart object and upload the PSD as it stands. Create a mockup from a PSD reads each supported filter off the layer and keeps it with the template instead of flattening it into the artwork. Every later render applies it to the design you send, so one template serves every design you have. The rendered result carries the layer masks and blend modes the filter was built with. Where the artwork lands and how it sits on the material is still decided byfit and the blend mode, covered in fit and blend
modes. What a template can and cannot carry is
listed in PSD compatibility.
Supported filters (as of June 2026)
Every filter below is verified against Photoshop’s own output.How other tools document smart filters
The leading PSD-upload mockup APIs ask you to strip smart filters before you upload. Dynamic Mockups allows “No Smart filters or layer styles” and says these “will be ignored”, and Mediamodifier prints the same line: “No Smart filters or layer styles (these will be ignored)”. Both PSD formatting guides accessed June 2026. SudoMock renders those filters instead, so a template that loses its warp elsewhere keeps it here.Frequently asked questions
Can an API render Photoshop smart filters?
Can an API render Photoshop smart filters?
Yes. SudoMock renders Perspective Warp, Curves, Gaussian Blur, Box Blur,
Brightness/Contrast, Invert, Displace, Find Edges, and the one-click filters
today, and they stay accurate for every design you upload.
Why does my perspective warp look flat in mockup generators?
Why does my perspective warp look flat in mockup generators?
Most PSD mockup tools skip smart filters entirely, so the layer renders
without the warp and the artwork sits flat against the scene. SudoMock
renders Perspective Warp with Adobe-level fidelity instead.
Do I need to rasterize smart filters before uploading?
Do I need to rasterize smart filters before uploading?
For Perspective Warp, no. Keep the filter live and SudoMock renders it with
Adobe-level fidelity on every design you upload.
How accurate is the Perspective Warp rendering?
How accurate is the Perspective Warp rendering?
It renders with Adobe-level fidelity against Photoshop’s own output, with
sub-pixel edge accuracy, so each design bends onto the surface the way the designer built it in Photoshop.
