Ghost Mannequin/Neck Join

Dummy dolls and mannequins are quite a common sight in supermarkets and boutiques. And now with the rise in e-Commerce and web stores, these dummies have found their way into the virtual stores and applications as well. These plastic figurines are cost effective and also easily replaceable. However, pictures of dressed up mannequins do not give the viewer a 360-degree view of the product.

Ghost mannequins or neck joins are created to keep the shape of the clothing intact giving the customer a clear idea of how it would look when worn. The Adobe Photoshop platform allows you to remove these mannequins from the background without tampering with the 3D shape of the garment.

Let’s find out how:

  • Background Removal: background removal is an image editing technique that lets you get rid of any unnecessary elements behind or beside the image that hinders the focus of the viewer. In this case, you edit out the mannequin digitally without removing or damaging the garment on display.
  • 3D imaging: pictures are 2D and hence often incompetent in presenting the complete truth. 3D imaging gives you a clearer idea of how the clothing is supposed to look like when worn. Once you have removed the mannequin underneath the garment looks like it’s suspended in thin air.
  • Color correction: Color correction feature makes the clothing look brighter. It removes all and any flaws in the stitching, reduces dullness and any discoloration, making the garment look as good as new.
  • Shadowing: Shadowing lets you emphasize certain sections of the image and blur the others. Customizing the brightness and contrast also helps you in tweaking the image angle, cut and opacity of the picture.
  • 360-degree Turning: one of the biggest benefits of ghost mannequins is that you get a roundabout display of the product. For this, you have to take multiple shots of the cloth from different angles and then merge it all together.
  • Image Merging: almost every web store has a feature where customers can view the same product from different angles. Image manipulation platforms like Photoshop and Lightroom let you do that. They help users combine different shots and present it under one frame as a single image.
  • Adding Joints: Adding neck joints and sleeve joints of the ghost mannequin images make appear it more realistic. Ensure that you carve out just the mannequin underneath and not sections of the clothing itself.
