From the Adobe Terms of Use:

The Photoshop trademark must never be used as a common verb or as a noun. The Photoshop trademark should always be capitalized and should never be used in possessive form, or as a slang term. It should be used as an adjective to describe the product, and should never be used in abbreviated form.

And then, look how they go on:

The following examples illustrate these rules:

Trademarks are not verbs.

CORRECT: The image was enhanced using Adobe® Photoshop® software.
INCORRECT: The image was photoshopped.

And to top it off with the big finale…

Trademarks are proper adjectives and should be followed by the generic terms they describe.

CORRECT: The image was manipulated using Adobe® Photoshop® software.

INCORRECT: The image was manipulated using Photoshop.

All I can say is: Ah, shaddup. I know that Adobe has a copyright to protect and everything, but it just seems so… mean and pointles. Google has no problem making their “trademark” a verb… It’s in the dictionary now. I guess I’m over-reacting, but this is really just so stupid!

Oh! and on a completely unrelated note, you should definitely check out this picture that was enhanced using Adobe® Photoshop® Elements® software!

The image enhanced using Adobe® Photoshop® Elements® software pokes fun at the Product® Red® campaign, and at Apple Inc.’s® constant updating of their iPod® Nano® line of iPods®.

I’m finding that I’m having a lot of fun while playing with Adobe® Photoshop® Elements® software, you should all get it from Adobe® as soon as you can so you can do more stuff like this image enhanced with Adobe® Photoshop® Elements® software.
