Stupid Adobe.
There's a good reason for that, and it's the same reason Google fights people saying "Googled" -- if a word enters the language as a common word, it can no longer be trademarked, so Adobe loses bigtime.
I just think it's funny. We should all use the word photoshop as a verb so they get screwed. :D
And what about Microsoft with Windows? Isn't that copyrighted?
It depends on what market its being used in; Windows isn't a common word in the computer science area, so Microsoft can retain its copyright. I think thats why they let Apple and Cisco both use the brand iPhone, since they were in different markets.
Yeah, damn, Newby. You don't tell people to go windows something, do you?
Correct title: The image was enhanced with Adobe® Photoshop®, NOT photoshopped
Does it really matter? Are they going to Track your ISP and demand your information to sue you for using a word that is really commonly used around my school and Teh interweb.

If you're a professional or something that uses Photoshop and you have something along the lines of "photoshopped" on your website, then yeah, I think they could press charges. Not that I agree with it, though...

It's possible, but not likely. In my case, since I do editing for corporate blogs, I have to be careful that incorrect nouns aren't verbed.

Yes, I'm aware. ;)
That's why I said "could." Maybe I should have italicized it for you, Mr. Editor.

I just wanted to make the job about "verbing" a noun. :)
Stop Canadianing "humor". Also, stop nouning verbs and verbing nouns. Dammit, iago, I thought you knew better than that.

Where did I Canadian "humor" [sic] here?
And "verb" is already a noun, so I don't have to noun the verb in that case :P
Verb is not a verb, it's a noun!

Isn't that what he said?

Ok? I had a brainfart. Once. You seem to be incapable of intelligent posting.

I have never expreinced negative post that involed me from anybody else besides wabbit. Maybe my views and opinions but not just me. I dont think its optimistic at all. Unless you have something to add sidoh...... :-[
I don't, but I think it's silly to assume that people like you just because they're not open about it. ;)

I say you're an idiot every fucking time I quote anything you have said! You're so filled with shit you can't see, or remember any one elses negative opinions. You're memory is like a god damn gold fish. Just stop making a fool of your self posting shit like Joe. The only difference between you and Joe is that people just tease Joe usually, people just wish you would stop posting.
Fuck you! :P
