While "photoshop" may have entered the current vernacular, it's annoying (maybe even misleading?) in the context of this article because I doubt Comstock used "photoshopped" as a verb. More to the point, we still have verbs like "edited," "retouched," and "altered" that just as accurately describe the process, are more likely to have been used at the time, and are still understood by everybody today (believe it or not, there are people who don't know what Photoshop is, and wouldn't understand it as a verb).
