Default Thready quilt backs

I guess this is a question for those of you who like to take photos of your WIPs.

By the time I've been working on a quilt for a while, there are lots of threads all over the back. The bigger the quilt, the more it's been handled, the worse it is. If it's really bad, I'll put some Fray-Chek along the ravelling edges, but that's not a solution for an entire quilt.

I have a modest little blog where I post photos of my quilting projects, mostly as a journal for myself (I'm not selling anything!). When I look at other blogs, the backs look nice and tidy. So my question is, am I really a messy quilter? Or do people spend hours snipping away the threads before photographing? Or can you Photoshop away the threads?

I do trim away dark threads where they may show up behind light fabric. This is more of a vanity issue, I suppose!
