It's one thing when postworking is used as a matter of deliberate deception in advertising for a product that's being offered for sale. It's another matter entirely when postworking is done for purely artistic reasons -- even if the artwork is for sale. That's no more illegitimate than a painter adding more / different paint onto a canvas in order to improve the picture in the hopes of getting a better price for their work.
But patently false claims of "Take our pill and lose 150 lbs in one week! And here's the pictures to PROVE it!" -- that's a different story, obviously.
Forbidding postwork in 3D? That's about like saying that no woman should ever wear makeup. Or that no car should ever be detailed or polished.
