You know how everyone is up in arms about make-up companies photoshopping their ads? I mean, I get it. They're trying to sell a make up so you can get a look that was achieved by a computer. Photoshopping is rampant in media advertising, and hotels aren't innocent either.
The following photos were taken from hotel websites and then compared with pictures taken at the same location by professional reviewers on
Oyster, a hotel review site. You can see through the differences that website photos have been photoshopped, skewed by angles, cropped, and maybe some photos aren't even actually from the alleged hotel. Take a peek.
