Photoshop has many uses though to my understanding,  it has never been used to fight racism.

Over to the lower divisions of German football, then, where the club Deinster SV have photoshopped their entire team photo with blackface after two African players were beaten up during Easter celebrations.

According to the BBC,  Emad Babiker and Amar Alnoor, two Sudanese men playing for the club, "were subjected to verbal and physical abuse during an Easter fete in the town, with Emad later being pushed to the ground and beaten".

The club decided to respond to the attack by photoshopping the entire team with dark skin.

Blackface has long been a way to demean people of African and Caribbean heritage. Here the club is using to show solidarity.
