### In the lessons

In media and online-safety lessons: many pictures in ads and online are photoshopped, so bodies, faces and events may not look like real life. Fake photoshopped images can spread lies. In art and design lessons: editing photos is a real skill. Phrases: «photoshopped picture», «badly photoshopped», «photoshop out».
