- esotericguy, on 10/12/2007, -6/+378fake, this was obviously manipulated using Adobe® Photoshop® software.
- yourmom, on 10/12/2007, -13/+354IM IN MY OWN SITE STEALIN MY OWN TRADEMARKZ
- undetected, on 10/12/2007, -4/+233No, but this page illustrates they can cover other body parts.
- shwizle, on 10/12/2007, -6/+219Effing Brilliant! I can't believe Adobe wouldn't cover their ass.
- angrychimp, on 10/12/2007, -6/+170Adobe: "Do as we say, not as we do."
- Nick22, on 10/12/2007, -2/+116The real question is, why would you take a photo of someone with a egg in their ass?
- Wilson, on 10/12/2007, -2/+112Hey guys, look what I Paint.NETed: http://www.deathbyvanilla.com/pics/Adobe%20butts.png
- gcnaddict, on 10/12/2007, -5/+62Tsk Tsk. hypocrites.
Not like this changes anything though. I'll still keep saying that they enhanced the images with Adobe® Photoshop® softw--yeah... something's askew here...
is she laying an egg? - aprilbegins, on 10/12/2007, -2/+54These posters won awards? Are you kidding me? I just Photoshopped a little in my mouth.
- IntellEJent, on 10/12/2007, -4/+51Do they mean "enhanced with Adobe® Photoshop® software"?
- kmckanna, on 10/12/2007, -2/+44"God damnit Todd, I can't believe you didn't SEARCH "photoshopped" within our own f*cking website, now we look like IDIOTS on Digg!"
I dub the above, the next conversation at Adobe's building. - Urusai, on 10/12/2007, -2/+42Eww, ass egg.
- seancanada, on 10/12/2007, -1/+39®OFL
- fober, on 10/12/2007, -5/+43For the record, I don't think anyone at Adobe wrote that description.
- CommunistEagle, on 10/12/2007, -1/+34Clearly that's photoshopped.
- Irfit, on 10/12/2007, -1/+34In case they fix it:

sorry adobe - Xageroth, on 10/12/2007, -6/+33@shwizle, they did cover their ass... with eggs.. (seriously wtf did I just see?)
- WildBil, on 10/12/2007, -4/+30Proof that Photoshopped is a Verb.
That Adobe recognizes its use as such, and uses or allows its use in this way, and so can anyone else.
IMHO They just lost the trademark and copyright. - NoNameHere, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23But the true artist asks "Why wouldn't you?"
- Dakart, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22Don't you mean:
"The broken egg photo in the big poster was retouched using Adobe® Photoshop® software, since the broken egg photo was taken independently and then added over the invitation form using Adobe® Photoshop® software?" - wibambau, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20I don't recall ever hoovering my living room.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19Proof that....PWNED!!
- OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19Here is what I have to say to Adobe: I don't want your ***** stock photos!
If you installed CS3, you probably know what I mean. Photoshop keeps getting more and more bloated with all these "extras" Adobe tacks on. Adobe is starting to rival Symantec in bloatware. Install CS3 and it leaves Adobe directories all over the place.
Now I might offend some Apple users, but I don't find it a good idea to have installed Bonjour on the Windows version of CS3 by default.
Wake up Adobe, users don't like craplets! - quacker912, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19The broken egg photo in the big poster was retouched, since the broken egg photo was taken independently and then photoshopped over the invitation form.
- WalkerBurgin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18I believe we call this irony...

- captinherb, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17@Naga10:
The expression is: "Do as I say, not as I do". I know because that's what my father would always tell me while telling me to get him another Pabst out of the fridge. - adml_shake, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Who cares, they're just worried about being the next "kleenex".
- angrychimp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10@hdtvdust
You're sort of right. It's not a press release, but it does appear to be a quote from the original artist/submitter. Despite that, you think they'd exercise editorial control over project descriptions in the event they found a trademark use violation. And it doesn't matter if it's from the UK portion of their site - it's still their corporate website. - Willeth, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11wibambau - you must have an incredibly dirty living room.
'Hoover' is an extremely widely-used verb here in the UK. - daybreaker, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11why would a company NOT want to be the next kleenex, google, or xerox? That kind of market recognition helps sell a lot of products over the competition. If you need a copy machine, sure you can buy a HP printer/copier combo, or you can get a Xerox to xerox things. I know that I buy Kleenex when I need tissue paper. Other companies may as well not even spend advertising money and just hope that by pricing thingsa little cheaper, people will just buy their stuff.
Having your company name become the verb for the entire market is a GOOD thing. Word of mouth advertising is the best kind. Studies show it beats out any other kind, so you would think that Adobe would be thrilled about photoshop becoming a verb.
Because let's face it: it's not the fact that people always say "I photoshopped it" that leads to PS piracy, it's the $50 bajillion price tag. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Did you photoshop that line in there?
- numbnu7s, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Maybe that photoshopped image was gimped.
- donald347, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Now when a company contradicts itself publicly it will be called Photoshoping. This is technically a different verb too.
- transfuse, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7@wimbambau
Actually it should be:
http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=photoshopped&word2=%22enhanced+using++Adobe%AE+Photoshop%AE+software%22 - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7or, "I just photoshopped this image using Paint.NET"
- swingerbone, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Adobe needs to photoshop their Photoshop page about photoshopping to conform to their own Photoshop trademark about using photoshop incorrecty. photoshop Photoshop to photoshop the photoshop trademark.
- Poon007, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5It is fixed now.
- smackhero, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6no, it's more like google, which has been adopted as a verb for searching the web (with google)
- alceria, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Wow, Adobe's got egg on their face....
Oh, wait a minute... - pintong, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Exactly. That was written by the designer, not Adobe.
- fantasticFlan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5An eponym is a word that comes from a name, i.e. Albert Shame invented shame.
- Zach978, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5You are right...Tivo doesn't care if someone Tivo'd a show on their Tivo, Google doesn't care if someone Google'd something on Google, and Adobe does care if you Photoshop'd something with Photoshop!
It when the general usage doesn't imply that they used their specific product that they are protecting... - MasteRR, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Why would they give up free advertisement like this? It's not like they are going to loose the trademark any time soon (if Klenex hasn't lost theirs yet) from it being used as a verb. It's just stupid.
Fine, I suggest we replace "photoshop" with a new verb: GIMP'd (or GIMPed, gimped, or gimp'd).
We have alternative editor, we have an alternative verb. - vetal17, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6you can see a big ass hair on the bottom of the right buttock EEEEEWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!
