An Adobe Grammar Lesson

[Nicole]

Apparently there is a right and wrong way to use the word photoshop (http://www.adobe.com/misc/trade.html#photoshop).

The topic seemed a bit too not serious for the post-processing forum (where I'm sure Adobe would have a field day correcting us all ;))

Saw this topic over on Flickr originally, and thought I'd post here.

Haha that is too funny. Thanks for the link! They just want their full name publicized everywhere. They should have made it shorter. :p Adobe CS2! doh!

Google was trying to do the same thing recently. They didn't want people to use "Google" as a verb. Yeah, right.

The Adobe® document was under a "Legal Info" category, so it's probably for publications and stuff like that.

Both don't want to become "generic" terms like "Kleenex", "Q-tips", etc.

Google loves it when people use their name as a verb... just not when you're using another search engine. :P You don't "google" something on Yahoo.

and yeah, that page looks like it's just guidelines for people mentioning their products in publications, third-party plugins, etc.
