What did they mean?

[JH9827]

Please be kind if you respond it’s much appreciated. Here is my question 

My friend had posted a picture up on his social media and someone commented and said to him “you looked photoshopped into this picture” Are they saying that they think that he photoshopped his photo?

They are saying that the photo looks photoshopped.  They aren't necessarily suggesting that he was the one who did it....perhaps someone else did it at his request.

Why do you ask?

Does it look he was photoshopped into the picture to you? Does the background look fake?

I wouldn't ask someone if I saw a photo on social media that I thought was photoshopped because it could come across as accusatory or insulting. If you're friend is genuinely curious about whether or not the photo was edited, it is appropriate to ask privately if they used any filters or editing tools on their photo.

He can also simply compliment the photo without mentioning anything about photoshop.

I also recall you posted about wanting to know about what an emoji meant? Is there any reason why you're now wanting to know whether someone was saying that someone photoshopped a photo? Are you worried that they might think you photoshopped a photo? If so, try not to let other people's opinions affect how you feel about yourself.

that struck me as a nice introduction.

not sure I can help you much otherwise on it- perhaps it is better to go with a natural or ordinary photo rather than trying to make it artificially better-

what you see is what you get so to speak.
