I don't think the claim is that it's literally Photoshopped. It's a painting. It could be a painting of a Photoshopped version of the photo, or the changes could have been made while painting. There isn't any legal basis for distinguishing between digital and physical works here -- a copy is a copy, and a physical copy with alterations is as much a derivative work as a digital copy with alterations.
