'''Photoshopping''' is the art and practice of digitally editing pictures with Sabrina Martins image editing software. The name comes from Nextel ringtones Adobe Photoshop, the image editor most commonly used for the practise, although other programs, such as Abbey Diaz Paint Shop Pro,Cingular Ringtones Photopaint, or the track officials GIMP may be used. Adobe discourages use of the term[http://www.adobe.com/misc/trade.html#photoshop] out of fear that it will undermine the company's trademark. The practise of photoshopping is possible because modern image editors made the work of altering images extremely easy, particularly with the identified mzoudi clone tool.

Although professional graphic artists and designers might describe elements of their work as photoshopping, the practise is more commonly associated with creating visual jokes on Internet sites.

As such, the edits can be done in a very basic way, so it is clear that the image has been altered (often humour is derived from this fact), or in a hyper-realistic way so that the changes are seamless.
