Unfortunately, you can't do a thesaurus search for the term "chop" without getting literal translations.

What other word do you use to describe editing a photograph or image in photoshop?

"image manipulation" or the ever popular "photoshopped"

I only started using the word Chop when i joined this site, before that i used Photoshopped Smile. Infact it took me ages to get used to calling them Chops, always seemed alien to me. Smile

"Photoshopped" seems like a good one, but since the verb "to photoshop" is the title of the product, it doesn't sound very descriptive to me.

Example:
"I am going to go photoshop this photo."

To me, this is like saying:

"I'm going to Microsoft Word this text."

If you were going to use the word "manipulate", then you would have to add Photoshop to be more descriptive and this would make the sentence longer than if you just used the word "chop".

Example:
"I'm going to manipulate this photo in Photoshop."

Is "photoshop" the verb they use on other PS websites when describing that they are manipulating a photograph within Photoshop?

I have digitally painted myself into a corner and now I'm waiting for the pixels to dry...

'Shop'...
'Did you shop this photo?'
Even in Dutch, we say shop / (photo)shoppin'

Oh... and fotof*ck (photo f*ck)... but that's sms-language Embarassed
