Hmmm, I have to say that I'm less than happy about the choice of "Manips" for what I presume will be all manner of works using already existing photos. While some are undoubtedly what I've seen called manips in fandoms like SGA and SPN - character photos that's been manipulated through the addition of unrelated photos (aka "his head is pasted on") - many of them aren't.
In the fandoms I hang out in (bandom and previously popslash) works like this or this or this, or what this person does are never, ever called "manips". (Manips, as I defined the term above, simply don't exist in these fandom.) I've seen some people call them "blends" but mostly they're just refered to by size, i.e. "banners" if they're medium/small and "wallpapers" if they're large enough to use as a computer background.
I'm afraid I don't have any concrete suggestions to offer of what to use instead. I mostly just wanted to make you aware that even basic terminology can differ quite radically between different fandoms.
