What is the difference between an image, photo, and a picture?


Today, most people consider an image, picture, and photo as synonyms when talking about a visual representation of an object on a computer. However, for the sake of ambiguity, we define each of these as follows.

Image - Any visual object that is modified or altered by a computer or an imaginary object that is created using a computer.

Photo or photograph - Anything taken by a camera, digital camera, or photocopier.

Picture - A drawing, painting, or artwork created on a computer. A picture is also used to describe anything created using a camera or scanner.
