Just ranting about fake photos

[FrugalReefer]

Anybody else sick and tired of overly edited photos that people post on social media and then when called out vehemently defend that the photo isn't edited like this pic. I don't claim to have an awesome looking reef tank but when you edit your photos like this, post them on social media and then pretend that this is what the tank looks like in real life, I mean, c'mon now. Anyways, rant over.

What did they do to it?

I can see posting a saturated photo just cuz it's pretty, but yeah, gotta be honest and admit it's not a true representation.

Saturate times one million

I think editing has its place. Maybe you’re editing the blue out of a photo to show what your tank really looks like to you:


Maybe you bought yourself a fish called a “dragon” wrasse but it doesn’t really look like a dragon:

I guess what I meant to say was not fake photos but photos that are so overly edited, like the original pic I posted. The photo was clearly saturated . . . A lot, but the author denied it.
