That's not going to mess up reflections, but I wonder how useful it leaves metadata. I think it’s been years since I haven’t altered a photograph for contrast, sharpness, or cropping.

IMO, the most striking one is that he appears to be claiming that the highlights on Laurence Fishburne's head are somehow faulty because they appear at a different point on his reflection in the mirror.  Either I'm misunderstanding what he's said, or he has a poor understanding of how specular reflections are a function of the viewer-to-subject relative position. Can't help feeling that this software is just going to kick off a whole new era of everyone claiming every image ever is faked!
