Ghost Mannequin tutorial- How to Join Clothing Neck in
Photoshop? Ghost Mannequin Tutorial; this is an image manipulation
technique, and how to do it using Photoshop. The following example
is using a jacket to show how to remove the mannequin and join the
neckof the cloth, so that all you have the article of clothing for
various types of display, without any mannequin present. To begin
with, you want to start by putting up the photo of the front of the
garment, (now on the clothes mannequin), the back of the garment
and also the inside back of the garment, with the collar in an
upright position. (You will need the label from the inside of the
back of the shirt later).
Step 1: First you want to crop the photo down so that you have a
minimum of background showing behind the garment. To the left hand
side of the screen you will have crop tool from the tool bar to
work with.

Step 2: Next, you will have the front of the garment displayed
on the screen. Now you will want to duplicate a layer (which is
Ctrl J).
-
Step 3:Now you will select your Photoshop Pen tool to cut off
the mannequin and the background from the garment.
Step 4: Start at the top of the collar right next to the
mannequins neck and the topmost part of the collar and begin
working your way down along line of the mannequins neck. It doesnt
have to be absolutely perfect, just be sure to take small steps as
you continue to work your way along the inside of the collar.
Step 5: When you reach the top of the collar, extend the path
out to the edge of the page, then up to the top of the page, and
over to other side of the page, then down and over to lower
site.
-
Step 7:Now you will repeat the process with the legs of the
mannequin and complete creating path in next area and join it when
you will get the O symbol.
-
Step 6: Then hold the control/command and click on path palate
to select the paths, now inverse the selection and delete.

Step 9:Next you will open the inside back of jacket and crop the
label/collar area.
Step 10: Now click on Ctrl A, Ctrl C and Ctrl V move the small
inside you just did onto the front on the first garment.
-
Step 11:Then you move it underneath the first layer of the front
of the garment so it shows through.
Step 12: Now you can decide how much shirt you will need. After
you are happy with the placement of the inside, we move on to the
next step. Now select the pen tool again.
Step 14: Start at the top of the collar and cut across the area
you just inserted, to get rid of the excess material.
-
Step 15: Now click on Eraser tool to smooth out the rough edges
and remove all the nicks and bumps on the collar. Then you blend in
the areas so there is no seam between the collar and the inserted
piece. You may leave a little shadow if you like for a natural
look. Touch up any other areas to give it a more polished look.
Step 16: You can use a brush, about a 25 size to add a little
black/dark to inside the bottom of the collar on the top part of
the label to add a bit of shading to give a realistic feel to
it.
