# I'm not sure Adobe's licensing agreements allow you to "borrow" their software
;)

# Meh
I don't think I've ever read a licensing agreement in my life.

# I'm sure they just say something
about not using the software for nefarious deeds, global destruction and hurting kittens.
Otherwise anything goes

Proper use of the Photoshop trademark

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.

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. It should be used as an adjective to describe the product, and should never be used in abbreviated form. The following examples illustrate these rules:

	Trademarks are not verbs.

	
	CORRECT: The image was enhanced using Adobe® Photoshop® software.
	
	

INCORRECT: The image was photoshopped.

Trademarks are not nouns.

	
	CORRECT: The image pokes fun at the Senator.
	
	INCORRECT: The photoshop pokes fun at the Senator.

Always capitalize and use trademarks in their correct form.

# I love the way we have to call it "Adobe® Photoshop® software"
Probably have to pronounce the "®"s too.

# they have to be seen to be doing this to protect their trademark
so it doesn't get considered generic
doesn't mean they care about people saying 'photoshopped' that much in practice
but they'd probably complain if, say, a newspaper used it

# indeed.
although, i like to imagine there's a crack squad of adobe agents, lurking around every corner, ready to pounce on the unsuspecting public:

"TRADEMARK IS NOT VERB!1!"

# Then how on earth
can someone trademark something if it isn't a verb?
