    No, Mr Surpin, picture editing as described here attempts to create
    an image which accurately conveys the reality of the piece of
    jewelry. My own work, which is mostly titanium and silver, is
    incredibly hard to photograph accurately. Even with the best efforts
    of a fine professional photographer, and whatever editing in
    Photoshop will help, I am constantly told that my images do not do
    justice to the pieces as they are seen "in the flesh". 

    Certainly these techniques *can* be used dishonestly, but as you
    point out, there isn't much point in the long term.
