Photo Friday Advance: Photoshopped to hell - flapjax at midnite
Like Kronos says, it's about the editing, even if not done with Photoshop itself. I hope we'll see some crazy phone photos treated with Instagram or Vignette or others of those kind of smartphone apps.
"Over-the-top photo editing" would probably suffice as a parallel phrase. I think you could replace that with some analog version of Photoshop (source).
If you're interested in image processing but don't want to cough up the $ for Photoshop, Gimp is a free and very powerful image editor. It has a steepish learning curve, so buy a book to go with it.
