Only posers edit pictures to make things look better

Of course. If the pic doesn’t look at all like what I actually see then I try to get it closer to real life which is sometimes impossible but I try.

I just hit the pro mode with orange filter. Looks like what I see with orange glasses on.

Editing allowed if done to make look closer to real life

I’ve seen vendors who I won’t name who edit to make it look like their imagination and not reality

Don’t have a pro mode on iPhone. So you’re telling me that this is what it really looks like right out of a shipping bag??? Tweaked or not, looks sweet, what one is this?

That's why I shop sbb. I'm actually buying what I see

I’ll name one. WWC, they are the absolute masters at it. They make the pictures so that they are not over saturated and look real but rarely ever look like that when you get them. Crazy because they do have some really awesome corals that don’t need the editing to look awesome.

Here's the sale pic..the skin got colored down but I'm willing to bet it will get much bluer than that in a couple weeks.

It's a cloud 9

Must either be unrealistic pica or dipping regiment. What you dip with?

 

[VintageReefer]

I use iPhone and dont edit or tweak
A lot of these are right out of the bag still in the shipping cup,or a few min after being put in. Some are a few hours later

 

[VintageReefer]
