Creases, pressed out. Everything else left alone.

Nobody irons every piece before they shoot it. But a rumpled photo reads as a tired garment, and on marketplaces that judge listings on imagery it is the difference between going live and being sent back.

These are five real listing photos, straight off a seller’s rail. On the left is what came out of the camera. On the right is the same photo after smoothing.

Worth zooming in. The point is not that the creases have gone — it is everything that hasn’t moved. Colour, pattern, weave, seams, zips, buttons and honest wear all come back exactly as they were. Look hardest at the leather jacket’s patina and the cardigan’s open knit and hang tag: those are the ones a careless edit flattens away along with the wrinkles.

Silk bomber jacket — the heaviest creasing in the set

Brocade blazer — rumpled, and patterned throughout

Nylon jacket — creased, and shot slightly off-square

Distressed leather bomber — battered patina left fully intact

Open-knit cardigan — loose knit and a readable hang tag, both preserved
