(31,245 posts)It's a little thing that drives me crazy. I've worked in advertising for 40 years, a good deal of that time before Photoshop existed. Images were either "retouched" or "manipulated" by an air brush artist. An entirely new image could be created through double-exposure in the lightroom or by actually cutting and pasting two or more photos together.
Besides, there is other software out there besides Photoshop, such as GIMP. An image could just as easily be "GIMPED."
I prefer "digitally manipulated," an activity meant to deceive or harm. "Photoshopped" is too cute.

(4,882 posts)"Digitally manipulated" seems a little harsh given the shoddy editing and the silliness of the image (not meant to deceive), so I opted for informal.
