What shots do I need?

Garment front and back on the form, plus a separate inside-neck shot.

Can you do it from one photo?

Usually not well; the inner neck needs its own frame.

How does ghost mannequin editing work?

The short answer

Ghost mannequin editing combines two photographs of the same garment, one on the mannequin and one of the inside neck, into a single image where the garment keeps its shape but the mannequin is gone. It gives a clean “worn” look without a model, which is why it is a staple of fashion e-commerce.

Two shots become one garment

The first frame is the garment on a form; the second is the inside of the neck, shot separately. The editor removes the mannequin, then rebuilds the inner collar from the second shot so the neckline looks natural from the front.

What we need from you

The garment front and back on the form, a separate inside-neck shot, and the cuff or hem inside-out if those matter. If the set is not enough, we tell you before the season starts. That is a shooting note, not an invoice.

What makes it hard

Keeping the shoulder line from collapsing, a collar that sits where a real neck would be, sleeves and hems that hang naturally, and the same shape across every product in a range.

How ALT FIX helps with this

We build ghost mannequin images from your own frames, never invented, and hold the same neckline and shape across a whole range.
