I knew a photoshopper once, who created a photoshopped image of
Britney Spears nude, but it was obviously a photoshop, probably
because it was made using an older version of photoshop, back when
photoshop's blur filters weren't very convincing.

That same man also wrote a password cracker for password protected pdf
files, which he made by reverse engineering acrobat, and then passing
the source code round IRC channels. He also sold T-shirts down the
market, with the word "photoshop" on them, and the phrase "FuCk aDoBe"
on the back. He currently supplies most of the far-east with millions
of pirated copies of photoshop, premier and acrobat, and has made
billions in profit. Apparently he now lives in the potting-shed at
Bill Gates' mansion, and has his own swimming pool.
