Our Services

Invisible Mannequin

Retouch1st,  offers various services that are directly related to achieving the Ghost Mannequin Effect. Let’s break them down:

  1. Clipping Path: A clipping path is typically used to create a precise outline or path around the garment in the image. This allows for easy extraction of the clothing item from the original background and enables further editing.
  2. Alpha Channel: Alpha channels are used to create selections based on transparency. They can be utilised in conjunction with clipping paths to refine the selection of the clothing item and separate it from the background.
  3. De-creasing: De-creasing involves removing or reducing wrinkles, creases, or folds in the fabric of the garment. This step ensures that the clothing appears smooth and wrinkle-free, enhancing its visual appeal.
  4. Reshaping: Reshaping can be employed to modify the shape or proportions of the garment digitally. It helps to achieve a desired fit or adjust any distortions caused by the mannequin or model.
  5. Extensions: Extensions refer to digitally extending or adding missing parts of the garment to complete its appearance. This technique is particularly useful for areas that may be obscured by the mannequin or model, such as the back of the clothing item.
  6. Cleaning: Cleaning involves the removal of any unwanted elements or imperfections from the garment image, such as dust, lint, or stray threads. This ensures a clean and polished final result.
  7. Color Corrections: Color correction techniques can be employed to adjust and enhance the colours and tones of the garment, ensuring accurate representation and consistency across different images.

By offering these services, Retouch1st can help clothing photographers achieve the Ghost Mannequin Effect, resulting in visually appealing and professional images that showcase the garments in the best possible way while maintaining a focus on the clothing’s details and brand information.
