Enhancing or editing scans when selling

[Throttlesteer]

Has anyone purchased a card where the scan seems to have been processed to hide a flaw. Sometimes the color balance, brightness, or contrast is manipulated to make the borders seem more white. Or, it's purposely darkened to make the colors look less faded or washed out. Worst-case-scenario, flaws are actually photoshopped out.

I recently had a transaction that appears the photo was processed to make things more bright and vivid, with borders much whiter than in-person. It may not have been intentional, but cards usually look better in person...not worse. It could be like Dean's, where their scanner or camera just happens to make everything look psychedelic florescent.

I don't want out the seller by showing the scan vs. the actual card, in case they're on here. I'm not sure it was intentional, but I guess I should always look for the option to return.
