Photoshop
From HR Wiki Twice
A picture of Homestar Runner from his website edited using several photoshop filters.
Adobe Photoshop is an image editing software, so widely used and recognized that "photoshop" is often used as a generic term for photo manipulation. It has frequently been used by The Brothers Chaps to create graphics for the Homestar Runner body of work; it also is occasionally used and mentioned by characters, typically Strong Bad.
