  That word is almost meaningless because everybody uses it with a different
meaning.

  If it's a composite of several images, I would definitely categorize it
differently than something that has outright image manipulation. A composite
contains solely original image information which has not been manipulated;
it's just that different images have been stiched together (and possibly
blended) in order to form a contiguous whole.

  Of course if the original images were not in that fisheye perspective
shape but in a more regular perspective and were then distorted in
post-production to get that image, then it becomes a case of being
slightly heavier image manipulation than a mere composite. However, even
in this case I wouldn't classify it as outright fakery (which is what
"photoshopped" usually means).

  Please elaborate.
