I'm curious: where do you think the possibility of an ethical lapse comes? Your motivation isn't to mislead, and, as the representative of your company, you have the right to present its intellectual property in any way that's approved by the company.

However, if you are worried about some lapse, why not include a note that some screen shots are doctored in the early part of the manual?
