3D Ghost Mannequin Effect Photoshop: Step-by-Step

Feb 2025 · 6 min read

Creating a convincing 3D ghost mannequin effect requires two or more shots of each garment and careful masking in Photoshop.

Step 1 — Shoot the Garment

Front-on, on mannequin. Also shoot the inside of the collar with the mannequin removed.

Step 2 — Background Removal

Use the Pen Tool or Subject Selection. Always refine edges around fine fabric details.

Step 3 — Composite

Stack the layers, align with Warp, and blend with a graduated mask. If this workflow sounds complex, our ghost mannequin editing service handles everything.
