Re: The ethics of "Photoshopping" Real Estate Listings.

Dunno depends on how it is intended. Like for instance if they photoshopped the power lines out to get a clearer view of the property itself, then I don't really think it's unethical.

But if they photoshopped the powerlines out because they don't want the buyer to know it's there, then yes that is very unethical.
No matter how you slice it, that's still mis-representing the property. Now, I will of course shoot something from the best possible angle (which means I'll have the powerlines behind me or out of the frame), but if I can't the angle that I can achieve that and the unwanted feature has to remain in the frame, it stays in the frame, at least when I send it to them.

If I was a Realtor, I'd be scared as shit about this. People will sue at the drop of a hat, which means real money to a real estate office.
