https://archive.is/D0FOH "Microsoft did admit to darkening the green hill" in the caption for image 1 (Bliss).

Based on the borders of the image shown being extended from the actual wallpaper file (take a close look at the top and left) it was probably cropped as well.

It's entirely possible the color was edited by mistake (i.e. converted poorly) - IIRC the color profile on the tiff was not sRGB.

It is interesting to consider what we talk about when we talk about whether an image was photoshopped because I do actually think that is a fuzzy line and different people may think of different things.

I always assumed this discussion was about exceedingly crass color shifts, the removal or creation of elements not in the original image, not some dodging and cropping.
