    I did not mean to open a can of worms, all that was said so far is
    applies to almost any industry, but in jewellery it is a tricky
    situation. 

    Try to add an explanation to your pictures that they were
    photoshopped not to misrepresent, but simply to make up for the 
camera
    deficiencies and see how many orders you get. My guess is not to 
many. 

    We required to disclose gem treatments, by the same token should we
    disclose picture treatments? 

    Intentions may be very pure, but technically it is
    misrepresentation.
