You've heard people talk about Photoshop and every smart phone now allows you to download apps that edit your photos. But posting a pic on Instagram and changing the coloring or shadow effect is not the type of photomanipulation we are featuring in our Photo-Based Art category.
Although it is exactly what it sounds like, photomanipulation in fanart is something completely different from touching up the family photo from last Thanksgiving. These artists use popular pictures of our favorite celebs or, most often, screen captures they've either made themselves, or gotten from an online source. Once they have the pics they like they transform them into whatever they want.
Some of the nominees focus on manipulating the color schemes or adding their own dialogue to create a screen cap fic, while others take images and put them together to form something completely new. All we know is that we love the way they've enhanced our favorite images of Sam and Jack.
