I'm guessing colorizing counted as "photoshopped", but guessing that was probably a mistake on my part.

False color means that the colors you see in the pic are not the Real Life colors you would see if you looked at it with the naked eye, IIRC.Well, yeah. Radio, infrared, sometimes gamma radiation. And visible light.
