(did you know you're not supposed to call it a photoshop)
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.


CORRECT: The image was enhanced with Adobe® Photoshop® Elements software.

INCORRECT: The image was photoshopped.

INCORRECT: The image was Photoshopped.

INCORRECT: The image was Adobe® Photoshopped.

Trademarks must never be used as slang terms.


CORRECT: Those who use Adobe® Photoshop® software to manipulate images as a hobby see their work as an art form.

INCORRECT: A photoshopper sees his hobby as an art form.

INCORRECT: My hobby is photoshopping.

Trademarks must never be used in possessive form.


CORRECT: The new features in Adobe® Photoshop® software are impressive.

INCORRECT: Photoshop's features are impressive.

Trademarks are proper adjectives and should be followed by the generic terms they describe.


CORRECT: The image was manipulated using Adobe® Photoshop® software.

INCORRECT: The image was manipulated using Photoshop.

Trademarks must never be abbreviated.


CORRECT: Take a look at the new features in Adobe® Photoshop® software.

INCORRECT: Take a look at the new features in PS.

The trademark owner should be identified whenever possible.


Adobe and Photoshop are either registered trademarks or trademarks of Adobe Systems Incorporated in the United States and/or other countries.

For more information on the proper use of Adobe's trademarks, please refer to the general trademark guidelines.

    or go into your brush menu and set your brush hardness to 100%.

    Use a smaller brush to get rid of any additional feathering you still get.

    if it is at 100% hardness and you're still getting feathering, you are doing something wrong.

    it won't ever be 100% non-feathered because it uses antialiasing

    but set it to like 3px or less and you'll get a real tight line, then go in with a larger brush and clean up the rest

    alright

    i guess i'll stick with marquee selection or something, because any feathering fucks up the 1px lines i'm trying to clean up around

    I don't have difficulty reading. I have difficulty comprehending how you could be getting a feathered edge on a 1 pixel brush.

    Want to make it easier? Set up a layer on top of it and paint or use the pen tool to build the area you want to erase. Then ctrl-click on the layer preview, select the layer you want to erase from, hide the layer you just drew that in and hit delete.
