That's too generic a suggestion. Photoshop could be used to crop or merely straighten up a wonky horizon. However if it were being used to improve the appearance of an item being sold at auction where the photo forms part of the description, that would be fraudulent. I very much doubt that would happen. Especially given the audience and the often substantial amounts of money exchanging hands. I suspect there's some wiggle words somewhere that suggest the buyer does not solely rely on the photographs.

In photography off the back of the lens as opposed to post processed, lighting pays a key part in the cosmetics of anything whether it be a landscape, a shapely breast or a Holland and Holland.

Other than that a wipe over with oil improves most things, you wouldn't want to eat pretty well any food that's been handled by a professional food photographer. Some of their "methods" are incredibly creative.

All of the above is subject to the word allegedly.
