Right I am just interested, what do you think?  Is it ok to make beads look more desirable by adding effects to the photos or displaying them really artistically?  Or is it really cheating?  Can't make up my mind, here are two photos, same beads, but I think the addition of the ribbons in the one photo makes the beads look so much better.  But is that fair, the customer isen't getting the ribbons only the beads?

Staging is fine by me, as long as it doesn't hide something or make the item seem better than it is. I do think you need to be clear about what is included in the sale though, just in case some wally thinks they are going to get the extras too. Smiley

I have obviously messed up (What a suprise?) No one is voting, still its obvious everyone thinks its okay to "stage" providing you allow for idiots.
B are you  being sarcastic?  Only Tan is always agreeing with everyone else's comments.  Very funny. Grin
Thank god there is humour in life Grin
