Found by someone on http://www.adobe.com/misc//trade.html#photoshop
“Trademarks help protect corporate and product identity, and Photoshop is one of Adobe’s most valuable trademarks. By following the below guidelines, you can help Adobe protect the Photoshop brand name.”
So here are some of them…
Trademarks are not verbs.
| CORRECT: The image was enhanced using Adobe® Photoshop® software. | |
| INCORRECT: The image was photoshopped. |
Always capitalize and use trademarks in their correct form.
| CORRECT: The image was enhanced with Adobe® Photoshop® Elements software. | |
| INCORRECT: The image was photoshopped. | |
| INCORRECT: The image was Photoshopped. | |
| INCORRECT: The image was Adobe® Photoshopped. |

I love Adobe and their quality products but what’s up with them? I mean who will bother with this ‘photoshop can’t be a verb’? All of the people post “it’s probably photoshopped or i photoshopped this”. I wouldn’t bother and I believe most people wouldn’t either!
