You can automate it quite a bit if you take the photographs with that in mind: good lighting, contrasting and uniform background as a minimum. But in the pictures above, even a human has trouble distinguishing the mannequin from the background.
Otherwise you can offshore the work to sweat shops in Asia, the rates aren't that high and these folks are likely more trained than you, and this can be less expensive than hiring a trained photographer locally to redo the shorts properly.

Thanks a lot Ofnuts for your swift answer proving Gimp is a real alternative;
yes I believe in automation;-) and I want to be autonomous on this matter if possible;
I have discovered that the "alfa to color" function with Threshold and Opacity set to 50% create a realy good job even in complicated background!
➤ I am missing the code though to batch process it as the Bimp in Gimp does not offer to deal with those functionality.
Would you have such a code that I could adapt to the file where I have 500 pictures to handle ?
Very best,
Chris

JPG images did not load with an alpha channel until 2.10.10, which released a few days ago. Now you can set GIMP to automatically add an alpha channel to jpg images. The switch is in Preferences>Image Import & Export >Import Policies.
Thanks Ritergeek for your answer! As I did not know it I made a Bimp on it;-) took ages ;-)
