that would be a valid reason, if the author of the article actually was working on touch up work of the pictured female.

Why have the main picture a shot of cleavage? He doesn't touch up the cleavage anywhere in the picture. If he did, it'd probably make for a pretty weird demo. The point of the picture was to illustrate the single window mode. It seems like there would be a common sense test where you think: "Is this really how I want to represent myself and this software?"

It's a female in a bathing suit! There's nothing sleazy about touching up a female or male in photo editing software. In fact, these are probably two of the most common things touched up for photo work.

not even a bathing suit, she is wearing a corset http://photoblog.nicubunu.ro/2012/04/siamb-2012-denisa.html
