Photoshop the software is named after photoshopping and not the other way around.

    Can you clarify what you mean? This is the kind of trivia I'd normally know about but I fail to make a connection, a quick search also didn't yield more info besides that it was supposedly whispered to the creators by a potential publisher, and the obvious reference to a "shop" for photos like a workshop.

    A photo shop is what you used to take your film or pictures to to be enlarged or touched up. This process became known as photo-shopping and the software was named after this. This is according to my artist grandma who died recently and my graphic design professor years ago.
