Peter, <br /> <br />There is probably software on your computer or that came with the camera that will suffice for editng your pictures. Most common picture modifications are cropping, brightness and contrast adjustments, and compression. None of these enhancements will "doll up" a photo. IMHO none of these adjustments are dishonest. They just make it easier to see what is already there. <br /> <br />Dis-honest stuff might be If you want to remove scratches, cover things, cut out stuff... this is harder than it might seem to pull off convincingly and to be undetected requires the expensive versions of photo software. The time it takes might also limit the cost effectiveness of doing this sort of thing. <br /> <br />When I post auctions I always point out the flaws in the item in the text and try to show photos so the buyer will not be disappointed and to be as honest as possible In my Ebay experience, most of the other train guys selling stuff are very honest as well. <br /> <br /> <br />Guy
