Although I am also not very sure about what is going on but I believe things will work out
I mean, I do agree to some extent that photoshoping to a completely different picture is a rather bad action but he is doing it at his own will and conscience.
Well most of the other amazing corals you see out there are also photoshoped to some extent, there's no escaping from the fact.
WL, I'm not sure about the cheating part but as far as photoshoping is concerned, as long as those pictures do not cause you grief disturbance or affect you socially or mentally, why not just accept it
