    These newest changes will propagate to our live site in the next update (a week or so).

    We want our e-commerce site to look nice. But one of the things we don’t have complete control over are the manufacturer supplied product photos.

    Yes, we could photoshop each photo one-by-one. But when you have 10K products, even 5 minutes of post-processing per photo is too time-consuming.

    But the photos are so ugly and they’re making our site ugly.

    So, yeah, it takes a little a lot of extra work to make things look pretty acceptable.
