      Can you clarify what you mean? This is the kind of trivia I’d normally know about but I fail to make a connection, a quick search also didn’t yield more info besides that it was supposedly whispered to the creators by a potential publisher, and the obvious reference to a “shop” for photos like a workshop.

        It’s not true. It was called photo manipulation before Photoshop.

        Adobe has actually complained about the term photoshopping because it can lead to genericization and loss of their trademark.

      That’s absolutely not true.

      Edit: Okay, eat shit downvoters. Please provide a source that confirms the term photoshop was used before 1992.
