When the press, public relations firms, government officials and political campaigns distort reality, twist the facts, apply filters like those used in PhotoShop to changes images, that is photoshopping reality. Closely associated with spin, perception management, marketing and propaganda.
When Secretary of State Colin Powell showed photographs to the UN proving the existence of chemical warfare plants, he was photoshopping reality. Also, President George W. Bush's infamous comment to FEMA chief Michael D. Brown while the latter was botching the federal response to Hurricane Katrina: "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job."

Get the Photoshopmug. The inability to notice that badly photoshopped images have been altered. Often combined with a strong belief that it's real, while ignoring or being in denial of anyone pointing out obvious signs of alteration.
"This looks shopped. I can tell by the pixels, and from seeing quite a few shops in my time."
"No dude, those tits are totally real. They look just like my ex girlfriend's."
"You must have photoshop blindness if you can't see that this is shopped."
