[Leica] Pre or Post???

For the joy of viewing, image manipulation provides a far better image.  As
Jayanand stated fine unless a representation is made that the image is
unadulterated.  With today's tools just assume that no image is as seen.
Some of the newest software doesn't need much in the way of prompting to
completely alter an image.  Then there are total AI generated images.  I
just watched a short film that was completely AI generated.
