@Carl - I don't see why not. I've heard it used to refer to digital noise quite a bit. Obviously they're two different things, but many terms in the digital field are based off the concepts and terms that were used for film. Heck, just look at photoshop. Dodging and burning in that program is nothing like it is in a darkroom, but it's the same concept. As long as the participants of the conversation understand the basic concepts behind the terminology, I think most of it is interchangeable unless you want to split hairs.
Perhaps I was confusing on my response, but I was not implying the reflection is Photoshopped. What I was trying to say is that he could have taken a photo without the show and then one with the shoe being held up by something and used the first photo to edit out parts of the second.The 'shoot two photos method' on this is what I'm referring to: petapixel.com/2015/02/10/levitation-photography-tutorial
