how to photoshop garments realistically

[larissab]

I don't have final images yet, but as an example it would be something like taking the garment from the bottom shot and placing it on the model above.

When I do the actual treatment I will most likely use a different model whose arm position more closely matches that of the mannequin.

I am kind of frightened! I hope that someone may be able to guide me.

Welcome to the good ship PST.

As far as your project goes...I hope you are very skilled with Photoshop/art. I don't know of any way to take the bottom picture, put it on the top picture and make it look correct without hand drawing it.
Maybe someone will be along that can help you with this.

It can be done given the right set of pictures..
I distorted the dress to match the shoulders and hips.
Then cloned the right arm untill it kind of fit..blew off her left arm.

Is this recommended probably not, does it look good..so-so at best.

Yeh. Liquify filter will get half way there. The problem will be the hand holding the bread. At the end of the day there aint now hand-holding-bread filter and it will come down to good old fashioned drawing skills.

When faking things in PS it is always best to start with something as close to what you want. An extra photoshoot will not go amiss. even something knocked up in a couple of minutes can save you hours painting in PS.

It'd be easier to just set up a photo shoot.
