To a certain it's the future of photography. Image processing software
adding computer generated content to photos to enhance them. Photos
taken by cameras won't go away, they will be enhanced by software.

But it's lying.Â* I want to buy what I see.

Why would you have a problem with it if the object you want to buy is
accurately represented? I would think that if it is *not* accurately
represented it doesn't matter how that came to be. In other words, this
isn't really a photographic matter, it's an ethical issue.

It isn't even an ethical issue. It's just another step along the away
from the wood cuts you used to see in the old mail order catalogues.
They went on via drawings to paintings and now onto an even cheaper
and easier way of showing the customer what it is they might be
buying. The next steps will be via virtual reality.
