Russian term or phrase: фотошоп (не программа)

На компьютерном сленге фотошопом кратко называют комплекс услуг по улучшению изображений, фотографий, "вырезать свидетелей", "раскрасить довоенную бабушку", коллажи и пр.

Как это назвать правильно по-английски?

Спасибо

agree

Dylan Edwards: For the noun, I'd use "photoshopping"./I'm not sure how the asker wants to use this. You can talk about "photoshop work". You can "learn Photoshop" (as I did... tried to). There's a tendency to use a lower-case p when it's a generic term.

-> Thanks, Dylan.

irssy: "Photoshopping is slang for the digital editing of photos." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo_manipulation. "Аirbrushing" и "retouching" - хорошие синонимы, но не отражают сленговой окраски данного слова.

-> And this: " photoshop is widely used as a verb, both colloquially and academically, to refer to retouching, compositing, and color correction carried out in the course of graphic design, commercial publishing, and image editing." Great link, thanks irssy!
