> Correct: The image was enhanced with Adobe® Photoshop® Elements software.

This makes me laugh every time I read it. Surely, even the lawyers at Adobe are fully aware that literally nobody is going to use that mouthful of a term (complete with ®s, even).

I always wonder why they didn't come up with a replacement that would actually have a chance.

I guarantee you marketing teams at Adobe will use that term.

Because they don't care whether people actually do it, nor is it realistic that they would. I'm sure the person who wrote that "correct" option made it that silly on purpose and laughed on pushing Publish.
People with enough reach to be worth suing will write it that way, or close enough.
