==Photo manipulation==
According to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo_manipulation Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia], ''"'''Photo manipulation''' involves transforming or altering a photograph using various methods and techniques to achieve desired results,"'' whether through the use of analog or digital transformation. The spelling ''photomanipulation'' can also be seen used, along with the more colloquial ''manip'' or ''photoshop'', in reference to Adobe Inc.'s [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Photoshop software].


In the context of robot fetishism, photo manipulation refers to the act of altering a picture, photographed, drawn or otherwise, into an expression of the fetish, i.e. human-presenting robots. In the case of FembotWiki, this implies altering images of women into female-presenting robots, or fembots. This may be done in various ways, for example through the adjunction of elements, such as [[Access panel|access panels]] or [[Faceoff|faceoff]], or by the removal of others, such as erasing limbs to suggest [[Disassembly|disassembly]] or [[Damage|damage]]. When applied directly onto and into an image, the adjunction of text or the contextualization of a picture as showing a female-presenting robot may constitute an instance of photo manipulation.

Photo manipulation can be done through the use of analog tools, such as retouching with ink or paint, or more recently through the use of computer graphics editor software. The spelling "photomanipulation" can also be seen used, along with the more colloquial "manip". "Photoshop" can also be used as a noun and a verb, in reference to Adobe Inc.'s Adobe Photoshop raster graphics editor software.

In the context of robot fetishism and fembot fetishism, photo manipulation refers to the act of altering a picture, photographed, drawn or otherwise, into an expression of the fetish, namely robots with a high degree of resemblance to human beings. This may be done in various ways, for example through the adjunction of elements, such as access panels or faceoff, or by the removal of others, such as erasing limbs to suggest disassembly or damage. The adjunction of text, or the contextualization of a picture as showing a human-looking robot may constitute an instance of photo manipulation.

Graphics editor

In the context of robot fetishism and fembot fetishism, photo manipulations are mostly created through the use of graphics editor software, programs that allows creating and editing images on a computer. Some popular graphics editor are:

  • [Wikipedia:Adobe Photoshop|Adobe Photoshop], a commercial product by Adobe Inc.,
  • GIMP, free and open-source software maintained by volunteers,
  • Paint.net, freeware with plugin support created by Rick Brewster.

While commercial software may offer more functionalities and easier accessibility, their gated nature tends to narrow their user base. On the other hand, open-source solutions or solutions supporting third-party additions might be free and have a more dynamic community, but may be more complicated to use.
