What I see is the catalog photo is missing the bottom portion of the photo and the whole photo is held flat, thus masking issues with the top. I can still see most of the flaws and I am wondering if the flaws that I can not see are due to being flat. I am also wondering if the top photo is taken through glass, maybe tented, since there is some shin on the left side.

Maybe the photo was not altered, but a photo of the phote taken in a method to hold the picture flat and thus mask the flaws. Cropping the photo, either through soft ware or by excluding it in the picture is intentionally deceptive IMO.
