What Are Ghost Mannequin Services?
Ghost mannequin services (also called invisible mannequin editing or neck joint editing) involve photographing clothing on a mannequin, then digitally removing the mannequin in post-production. The result is a professional, hollow 3D garment that shows shape and fit without any visible support structure. This technique is the gold standard for ecommerce clothing photography.
Traditionally, this editing is done by hand in Photoshop by skilled retouchers, which is why per-image pricing has been the norm. PixFocal's AI automates the entire process, delivering results comparable to traditional editing at a fraction of the cost and time.
| Feature | Traditional Editing | PixFocal AI |

| Turnaround | 24 - 48 hours | 30 seconds |

This technique gives garments a natural 3D appearance without showing the mannequin. PixFocal's ghost mannequin app handles neck joint editing automatically.
