Digital photo editing a decade before Photoshop? Meet the Quantel Paintbox

The popular shorthand for digital photo editing is based on the name of software developed in the 90s. However, that activity was already being done by users of a bespoke art computer developed by a British company in the early 80s, and the public could see the output of this machine everywhere. So why is digital photo manipulation not called "being Paintboxed"?
