Ghost Mannequin

A Ghost Mannequin Service, also known as a Neck Joint Service or Invisible Mannequin Service, is a photo editing service provided by image editing companies that specialize in this popular e-commerce technique (the ghost mannequin effect). The fashion item (for example, a shirt) is photographed on a mannequin, and the image editors remove the mannequin and merge another image of the interior (the neck insert) to create a 3D look of the product, without the distraction of a mannequin or model.

First, the price should be fair, between $1.50USD and $3 per ghost mannequin image. Higher prices indicate the photo editing agency is not skilled in the ghost mannequin effect, needing more time (cost) to do the work. Secondly, find out if the company has high-value customers trusting their work, such as top fashion brands. The best ghost mannequin services will provide both FTP bulk uploading and an online uploading platform with an optimized process for rejecting images if they do not meet your standards (and rejected images should be re-worked and sent back to you on the same day). Lastly, find out if the agency specializes in fashion e-commerce retouching, or does the company also offer services such as wedding, real estate, and portrait retouching which indicates they may not be specialized in the ghost mannequin effect.
