Found deep in their agreement term here: http://www.adobe.com/misc/pdfs/TM_GuideforThirdPartiesFinalPrint.pdf
So now you know what to properly say when you see a photoshopped, ahem, an image enhanced using Adobe® Photoshop® software.

Wow. 'Tis all I can say.

[EClaris]

Why are the giving us grammar school?
How are they going to regulate that in official texts?

I kinda get their point, but jeez

[Bloodshed269]

Stupid. That is all.

[seaniepoo]

Holy shit. That's hilarious!

[BlackCat]

I thought it was supposed to be a good thing for a brand when their name becomes a verb... for example: google it....?

Or just their brand becomes a generic noun (I need a kleenex)

[Platypus]

I can see some retarded high level marketing guys sending this shit out, and all the coders and people that actually make photoshop just facepalming so hard.

part of speech FAIL


Photoshop is used as a verb though, that was what I was referring to.

[Waterboy2go]

Holy mother of fail

[EClaris]

I was referring to my failure, which I edited out, so I can see how that was confusing.

EDIT: Now no one in this thread has failed


except adobe

Should I mention the free KFC chicken give away during May?

[hunterhunter]

..........I dont know how to respond to that....

[Easton Dark]

Should I mention the free KFC chicken give away during May?

Oh lawd.



Is dat sum chicken?

[Dre]

yea, you get em ADOBE!!!! that'll show the internet whos boss!!!!


so, does that means I cant simply shoop da whoop???

[darkmessiah]

I'm gonna photoshop this image.

[Tyr]

Are they dumb? A product's greatest hope is to become a verb! You don't photocopy anymore, you Xerox. You don't take a snapshot you take a Poleroid! No-one searches the web any more, they Google! Adobe is actually trying to stop the use of "Photoshop" as a verb?

Who the fuck is in charge and why isn't my foot hitting them in the face right now!?

Dumbdumbdumbdumbdumbdumbdumb!

[darkmessiah]

Polaroid...? Who says that?

I guess I heard that 60-year old man talking to himself at the bus stop mentioning that...

[Tyr]

Well the problem there is that no-one DOES take snapshots/Polaroids any more, it's all digital. My point is that your brand turning into a verb is the ultimate in product recognition. It's basically a massive "YOU'VE SUCCEEDED" sign with flashing lights and sirens. Seems like the good folks at Adobe have their heads firmly lodged in their soundproof arses.

Edit: @Dre - Exactly, good example.

[Dre]

also, i noticed people dont say clear tape or mess tape, they say SCOTCH tape, even though scotch tape is not a type of tape, its a brand that makes all types of tape.

[darkmessiah]

Yeah, but I wanted to burn you on your '70's reference to a polaroid, hehe.

[Tyr]

Sorry mate, I'm fireproof. :cool:

I say clear tape...

[darkmessiah]

Oh, burn baby, burn.

[hunterhunter]

lets all pool our cash,take a trip to this guys office get in his face pull out a edited picture and say........"WE PHOTOSHOPED THIS"....that'll learn em....morons

[darkmessiah]

That's clever right THAR!

[Tyr]

I say clear tape...
I say Sellotape - which is the most common brand here.

[darkmessiah]

I say Duct Tape. I'm from Alabama.

[hunterhunter]

figures......I say invisible tape or scotch

[darkmessiah]

That's funny, because I was joking about how I was from Alabama, and you said "Figures.........." With too many elipses!

If you don't see, I'm in Mount Pleasant, IA! I guess you can't see, friend!

[hunterhunter]

..........*takes deep breath*
