Re: Let's photoshop a beeng!
Are you talking about the center photo? It is quite obvious, I can still see the squares and two leaves/stems that look identical. Didn't even take the time to heal it over.drumhum wrote:I've come across various tools for use on puerh cakes but not photoshop's clone tool!

Nice catch! It's visible on both of the photos where leaves are shown, but I never would have noticed had you not mentioned it.
I too wonder why he would need to do that... I can't think of any reasons.

I hate to put down this ebay store - I've had a couple of orders from them (or more) in the past and its all been good. Friendly responsive emailing too.
The english is freaking awful. I just don't understand why they can't find someone to help with translation. A bit of chinglish can be charming but that stuff is simply unreadable.
I found the photoshopping rather depressing. I've been a bit suspicious of other photos too - that they are not the actual cakes he's selling. I'd like to think they are at least the same make/brand, copied from some other website or something, but who knows?
He's used the same picture of some brewed tea being poured from a jug for more than one brand of tea too. Thats really off in my book - I don't mind generic tea-related pictures of tea plantations or heaps of mao-cha, but when you see some good looking brew being poured one kind of assumes thats what you'll see when you brew the tea yourself.
I'd love to think he's a great tea guy with terrible ebay/english skills but I struggle sometimes!
As I said though, the tea and service from Yunnan Colorful has been perfectly good.
