Mannequins help us to see the shape and design of clothes, but they are not necessary when displaying clothes in online stores. For this reason, you should always edit the mannequins out before uploading pictures of clothes into your website. At FixiPixi photo editing company, we offer you best ghost mannequin service for you.
The online fashion store industry is cut-throat and demands the best possible photos. With this in mind, explore our guide on how to take pictures of clothes without a mannequin.
Step by Step Procedure of the Ghost Mannequin Effect
Load your picture into Photoshop
Open the Adobe Photoshop and open your picture. After doing so, create an extra foundation layer and fill it in with white color to vividly make the garment. This also creates a spotless layer in which you can label your picture’s various elements according to your preferences.
Remove its background
Proceed to eliminate the background of your image. Identify your Photoshop palette and click on the ‘Selection Tool’. Some ‘marching ants’ will immediately be activated around your garment. At the highest point of your active Photoshop window, Point to Select” and then ‘Inverse.’ The ‘marching ants’ will be moved from the item of clothing and placed upon the foundation. Navigate to your console and tap on ‘Erase’ to move the clothing item to the white space. At this point, note that the original picture will be placed behind the white layer.
Combine the pictures
Still in Photoshop, activate the back section of your image and then tap on ‘Ctrl + A’ then ‘Ctrl + C’ and eventually ‘Ctrl + V’ to bring it to the front. While making sure that the back section is selected, move it around the workspace and then resize it until it achieves the best position. Please repeat this step until it fits perfectly. Feel free to use the tether facility to remove any bits that don’t fit in the workspace as you desire.
Save a copy of your work so far.
At this point in editing the picture to remove the mannequin, save a copy of your work. In this effort, remember to save the unique layers. During this procedure, ensure that the backup is saved in a format such as JPG, PNG or IMG.
Select the garment using the Pen tool
Use the Pen tool to select the foundation because it is this instrument that will give you the best results. With this tool selected, chart a path around the item in the front-most layer of your project. Note that this activity requires consistent practice to perform perfectly.
Insert a shadow
From our experience at FixiPixi, any clothing item looks best when there’s a 3D effect around it. Inserting a shadow is the most effective way to accomplish this. Pick the shadow tool and insert this effect between the front and back layers. You’ll immediately notice that your item of clothing appears stunning. Also, the mannequin will disappear and become undetectable!
Insert a mask
Highlight the layer containing your item of clothing and then point to the ‘Select’ tab. After that, choose the option named ‘Refine Edge.’ Under this menu, tap on the option labeled ‘Alright.’ Doing so will immediately make the garment tighten around the white foundation and effectively eliminate the mannequin.
Add a natural touch
There are ways to make your neck joint look more normal after editing out the mannequin. Begin by selecting the Eraser and then set it to Brush Mode with an opacity of 25%. Hold this tool and use it to combine the front and back layers through delicate deletion. After that, select the Brush again and further reduce its opacity to 15%.
Identify the sections where the back and the front meet and add a characteristic shadow in these spots. Implementing the Brush in these ways will give the garment a natural appearance. Apply only a few strokes to avoid over-doing it. If you would like this process done perfectly, it is advisable to employ our professional photo editors’ services!
