I took it as a humorous(?) play on the dual meanings of the word "snapshot". What originated as a term for a quick photograph[0] evolved to have a metaphorical meaning of "a record of something as it existed at a single moment". So using "photoshop" in this way is just a cute way of extending the metaphor (while borrowing some of the dishonest connotations of photoshopping as well).
