photoshop

Edit an image

Photoshop is image-editing software that became so dominant its name turned into a verb.

To photoshop an image is to digitally alter it—removing blemishes, combining elements, or manipulating reality: That photo is obviously photoshopped.

The verb applies regardless of which software is actually used.

A photoshopped image may be subtly retouched or blatantly fabricated.
