adobe.com— "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."

This may seem stupid to you but it is in order to preserve the copyright. If they do not try and combat such slang then their ownership of the copyright can be revoked. Effectively they have to dance through a hoop for the government to save their copyright while at the same time hoping the general population ignores them.
Good. I always thought it sounded stupid when people said "That is so photoshopped!" or "I photoshop photo's for a living".It's like saying "I after effectsed this video" or "I notepadded the html". It just sounds silly.People should use the correct terminology, such as to photomanipulate, to edit, or to composite.
"Sometimes I really do wonder about the intelligence of digg users... x.X"Intelligence has nothing to do with it; it's just a matter of experience. High school students make up a big chunk of Digg's audience. You've correctly pointed out that countless companies have trademark usage guidelines; it's an unavoidable fact of corporate life. But your typical Digger hasn't yet entered the corporate workforce.
WTF? Scary. I thought I was looking at my screen for a second. I have those same three tabs open right now, AND I'm using the same Mozilla® Firefox® skin.I do have more tool bars than you though.Maybe your image was enhanced with Adobe® Photoshop® CS® ,CS2®, or CS3® software though.
After reading the other digg article where Adobe used "photoshopped" it's obvious thatthe Adobe® Systems Incorporated Terms of Use was probably enhanced using Adobe® Photoshop® software. to be quite honest. Really, now.
What are we supposed to use instead of "photoshoped" ? "I manipulated this picture"? What other words are there? How can it not be fair to use it as a verb?

I don't think he approved of "pulling a Munson" to be named after him but s**t happens. (See the movie Kingpin)
