Apparel Post-Production Technique
What Is Ghost Mannequin & Neck Joint Editing?
The invisible mannequin effect digitally removes the physical plastic or wire mannequin used during apparel photography. By isolating the fabric outline with surgical precision, your clothing retains its natural draped shape and volume without distracting props or model costs.
The neck joint edit seamlessly fills the empty neckline by compositing the interior back collar and brand label photograph directly into the front cut. This creates a realistic, hollow three-dimensional garment that looks lifelike, symmetrical, and fully catalog-ready.
True-to-Life Fit & Shape
Customers see both the outer drape and inner branding details, significantly boosting buying confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

A neck joint service merges a separate photo of the inner back collar and label into the front garment cutout. This fills in the gap behind the neckline, producing a natural, complete look.
Most garments require two photos: the front shot on a mannequin and a separate shot of the inner neckline or collar. For unbuttoned jackets or complex garments, a third shot of the bottom inner hem may be needed.
