technique - How to do the ghost mannequin effect?


I'm looking into taking some product photography and I would like to get the ghost mannequin effect, but I can't find any proper documentation.

Can you please give a stepped process (ie 1,2,3) (don't need too many details) .


Thanks for any advice.

STEP 3: Mask out the neck part of the picture you took in step 1: enter image description here


STEP 4: Mask out the picture you took in step 2 and add some shadow: enter image description here


STEP 5: Put your step 4 underneath your step 3, then simply stamp or heal tool where you need to get the result:
