photoshopped
Manipulated the pixels
Photoshopped means digitally altered, from Adobe Photoshop software that became synonymous with image manipulation.
A photoshopped image has been edited—retouching blemishes, removing objects, compositing elements, or distorting reality: That photo is obviously photoshopped.
The term often implies deception or unrealistic beauty standards: Magazine covers are heavily photoshopped.
Now used generically regardless of which software was actually used.
