Ghost Mannequin / Neck Joint Service

Designed for apparel brands, fashion retailers, and product photographers, our Ghost Mannequin service removes any mannequins and joins neck areas seamlessly to create clean, professional 3D clothing images ready for eCommerce or catalogs.

What is Ghost Mannequin Effect ?

 

The ghost mannequin effect is a way to make clothes look like they are floating by themselves in a photo. You take a picture of a shirt, jacket, or dress on a mannequin, then remove the mannequin in editing. The clothes keep their shape, so they don’t look flat, but nobody sees the mannequin or a person wearing them.

It’s mostly used for online shops, so people can see how the clothes really look without anything distracting in the photo.

Neck Joint

When we remove the mannequin from a dress, it leaves empty space behind the neckline. We fix this by joining the back and front parts to create a natural and complete neck joint. This makes the clothing look neat and well-shaped. We do this for shirts, t-shirts, jackets, sweaters, and blazers so your products look clean and professional.

Bottom Joint

Just like the neck joint, we also join the bottom part of a dress after removing the mannequin. Some dresses have a longer back than the front, which creates extra empty space. Our editors carefully restore these missing parts so the bottom looks complete and natural, giving you clean, balanced, professional, and ready-to-use images for online stores.

Sleeves Joint

We also remove the mannequin from the hollow part of the sleeves and create a clean ghost effect. Long-sleeve shirts, t-shirts, jackets, and similar items need this hollow look to achieve a proper 3D shape. After that, our editors remove the mannequin and carefully fill the empty area by joining the sleeves, making the product look complete and natural.

This service is used to remove the mannequin from the hollow part of the sleeves and create a clean ghost effect.

--- First We Remove the Background

We start by using the Pen Tool in Photoshop to carefully create a precise selection around the object. This ensures that every edge is accurately traced for a clean result. Once the selection is complete, we apply a mask to hide the background, effectively isolating the subject. This method allows us to remove the background neatly while preserving all the details of the object, giving a professional and polished look perfect for online stores and catalogs.
