What Is a Ghost Mannequin Service?
A ghost mannequin service is an apparel photo-editing technique that digitally removes the mannequin from a garment photo and rebuilds the hollow interior, so the clothing appears worn by an invisible body, showing its true 3D shape and fit without a model.

METHOD WE APPLY FOR GHOST MANNEQUINE
Remove Background and Dummy Using Clipping Path
To remove dummy background, clipping path is the most common and actionable method applied by professionals. In this case, start with opening your image in Photoshop, go to "Filter" and select "Invert". This will remove the background from your image.
Now we are going to select the area where you want to clip the dummy. We need to do this by clicking on one of the corners of the dummy and dragging it out towards the image border.
Neck joint/ Sleeve joint/ Bottom Joint for Making 3d Shape, Adding Shadow
The generic joint can be used to create a shape, but it has some limitations. For example, it's not possible to create shadow or lighting effects when using this generic joint.
The neck/bottom joint is similar to the generic joint, but it provides more flexibility and power when creating shapes and shadows. In addition, this service also supports 3D shapes with depth and lighting effects.
Liquefy, Reshaping and Retouching where needed
The ghost mannequin effect is a digital retouching technique that creates a digital photo or video of a person that appears to be transparent. The effect is achieved by removing parts of the subject, reducing their size and/or changing their shape.
The liquify filter is great for giving your image a bit more movement or detail in it's appearance, by using this technique on an image layer instead of directly on your original picture.
Color adjustment/Color matching
The results of color correction are often referred to as an "effect" or "look". This can be done manually, by adjusting individual colors, or with computer software packages. Adjustments are typically made to counteract unwanted color casts or exposure differences between different parts of an image.
In order to achieve fine control over the final color balance of a photo, it may first be necessary to create an adjustment layer (or adjustment layer stack) using one of several tools designed specifically for this purpose.
