If your design looks glitchy or distorted this is almost certainly due to Adobe's displacement map bug. You can fix this by updating the displacement maps.

1. Expand the ‘Effects' folder.

2. Click the arrow on the right-side of the ‘Design' layer to expand the layer effects.

3. Right-click on the word ‘Displace' > Select ‘Edit Smart Filter'.

4. Keep the default displace values. Optionally you can try modifying these to anywhere between 5 and 15. Keep both values the same (i.e. 7 and 7 or 12 and 12).

5. Select the displacement map file that matches the mockup you are editing.

6. Click ‘File' > ‘Save' to commit your changes. This ensures you won't have to do update the displacement maps again.
