I'm not sure Adobe's licensing agreements allow you to "borrow" their software

Meh
I don't think I've ever read a licensing agreement in my life.

I'm sure they just say something
about not using the software for nefarious deeds, global destruction and hurting kittens.
Otherwise anything goes

Proper use of the Photoshop trademark
Trademarks help protect corporate and product identity, and Photoshop is one of Adobe's most valuable trademarks. By following the below guidelines, you can help Adobe protect the Photoshop brand name.
The Photoshop trademark must never be used as a common verb or as a noun. The Photoshop trademark should always be capitalized and should never be used in possessive form, or as a slang term. It should be used as an adjective to describe the product, and should never be used in abbreviated form. The following examples illustrate these rules:
Trademarks are not verbs.
CORRECT: The image was enhanced using Adobe® Photoshop® software.
INCORRECT: The image was photoshopped.
Trademarks are not nouns.
CORRECT: The image pokes fun at the Senator.
INCORRECT: The photoshop pokes fun at the Senator.
Always capitalize and use trademarks in their correct form.

So we're breaking the licence agreement by saying we photoshopped something?

All software should come with a guide to using it in conversation

I love the way we have to call it "Adobe® Photoshop® software"
Probably have to pronounce the "®"s too.

What modern society needs
is a sort of finger movement to represent the ® & © symbols, like the little finger wiggly quotes things you can do for ".

"Adobe *arse* Photoshop *arse* software"?

they have to be seen to be doing this to protect their trademark
so it doesn't get considered generic
doesn't mean they care about people saying 'photoshopped' that much in practice
but they'd probably complain if, say, a newspaper used it
