MANIP is a technique in which two images of people are placed next to each other. For example, what we see as MANIP on Pinterest is usually a montage of a person with a celebrity. Or some fans of a relationship between two stars create fake images of the two next to each other, which also seems natural. For such a combination of images, we use software such as Photoshop professionally. But since many mobile apps are made for this purpose, we will use one of them in this article.
What is MANIP, and what does it do?
If you are familiar with the concept of image manipulation, you know that many graphic arts on the Internet are fake. For example, photomontage and image manipulation techniques in graphic design are used to design movie posters or banner ads. But MANIP has more of a fan aspect and is done by ordinary people and celebrity fans. You may have seen most of this technique in fanfiction covers. A common non-technical term for this is Photoshopped images.
The use of such a technique can be seen in many movie posters. But Manip in Pinterest is mainly used to display a personal photo next to an image of a singer or actor. It is more entertaining, and it is clear that it was created by editing this image.
