What Ghost mannequin redraws and what it is briefed to keep
Ghost mannequin takes a photo of a garment on a hanger or laid flat and renders it again in one of two styles. The 3D style is briefed to show the garment's natural volume as if worn, with no body or form inside it. The flat-lay style is briefed to lay the garment out evenly, straight and symmetrical, seen from directly above, centred and not rotated. The remaining settings are the view, front or back, the backdrop, white, grey, black or beige, the format and the resolution. The tool offers no scene, model or pose.
The brief lists what has to survive the new rendering. Printed graphics, logos and text are to stay character for character, along with the number and position of buttons, zips and pockets, the weave, ribbing and pattern scale, the colours, and the cut with its sleeve length, hem length, collar and fit. A plain garment is to stay plain. The tool is also instructed to remove any hanger, mannequin or person and to present the fabric as freshly steamed, without creases, fold lines or wrinkles from the hanger, storage or packaging.
When Ghost mannequin fits and when another tool does
Ghost mannequin fits clothing that should show its shape without a person in the frame: shirts, knitwear, jackets, dresses or trousers presented the same way on one plain backdrop. Its category list holds garments only. For many categories the brief adds a line that names details of that garment, such as the lapel and button stance of a blazer, the knit stitch and ribbing of knitwear or the rivets, pocket shape and wash of jeans. Bags, shoes, headwear, glasses and jewelry are not on the list; Product studio photographs those as objects.
Other needs point to other tools. When buyers should see the garment on a body, Virtual try-on dresses a studio model in it from the same hanger or flat-lay photo. When the photo is already right and only the surroundings are in the way, Remove background cuts the garment out without redrawing it, so a crease or a fold stays as photographed. Ghost mannequin has four plain backdrops and no scene: a garment on marble, wood or linen, or in a home setting, is a job for Product studio, which lists apparel among its products.
What to check in a ghost mannequin image before publishing
Start at the neck. Compare the collar type and the shape of the neckline with the garment itself, and make sure that a brand, size or care label sewn inside the neck has not appeared on the outside. In the 3D style the brief asks for opaque, real fabric in its true colour, with no mannequin, body, acrylic or transparent form visible and nothing that looks like glass or plastic. A glassy or see-through patch, a trace of the hanger or a hint of a body inside the garment is a reason to generate again.
Then compare the garment with the source photo part by part. Count the buttons and pockets, read prints and lettering at full size and check the sleeve and hem length. A flat lay should lie straight, not rotated or diagonal. When a photo of the back is uploaded, the brief asks for the back to be reproduced from it, and a print that appears only there is to stay on the back. With the front view selected, the upload is checked first, and a photo that shows only the back, or a garment folded inside its packaging, can be flagged before anything is generated.
