"Photoshopping" is the use of Adobe Photoshop. It can rotate, sharpen, crop, correct color, and adjust brightness and contrast, things every digital photo needs. It can also remove or intensify colors, remove or add elements of the image, turn it into a painting or watercolor or pencil sketch, and do about a million other things. To say that Photoshop is inherently evil is simply ignorant. Every photo y ou see on Flickr stream has had something done to it in Photoshop. No, I don't remove or add items or make a cloudy day sunny, but the simple reality is that every digital image needs some polishing to look its best. That's just the reality of the technology.
