personally i love it when they do this^~^ seeing the real settings is just so cool (the real hinamizawa gave photos gave me chills down my spine haha)
plus its AWESOME for cosplay photos, you cant get a better background for good cosplayers than original settings

As long as they're not beginning to stick real photographs as background, using real places as backgrounds in anime adds a nice touch of connectivity towards the fans.

I've read tutorials in making Mangas. when they try to draw realistic backgrounds, they try to take a picture or get pictures from newspaper and trace it under a thin paper, then do the details, maybe they did the same here only that they used image editing tools to colorize.

I'm just using Photoshop in the loosest possible sense here, in that they opted to base a their location on a photograph very closely. And no one would dream of comparing it to Someday's Photoshoppers.

I'm quite sure this isn't photoshop, you can see the bridge is completely CG over a background. So that's more like looking at templates and applying similar structures in. That's hardly photoshop, and completely unlike Someday's dreamer where they just animate over a photograph rather than this.

Its not so evident "Photoshop". Rather 'follow the example' that simple use of filters.
