For movies, see
Film. For other uses of "Image" or "Images", see
Image (disambiguation). In common usage, an image (from
Latin imago) or picture is an artifact, usually two-dimensional, that has a similar appearance to some
subject—usually a physical object or a
person. Images may be two-
dimensional, such as a
photograph or screen display, or three-dimensional such as a
statue. They may be captured by
optical devices—such as
cameras,
mirrors,
lenses,
telescopes,
microscopes, etc. and natural objects and phenomena, such as the human
eye or water surfaces. The word image is also used in the broader sense of any two-dimensional figure such as a
map, a
graph, a
pie chart, or an
abstract painting. In this wider sense, images can also be rendered manually, such as by
drawing,
painting,
carving, rendered automatically by
printing or
computer graphics technology, or
developed by a combination of methods, especially in a
pseudo-photograph.
