| 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. | | 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]].

− | A volatile image is one that exists only for a short period of [[time]]. This may be a [[reflection]] of an object by a [[mirror]], a projection of a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_obscura camera obscura], or a scene displayed on a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode_ray_tube cathode ray tube]. A fixed image, also called a hard [[copy]], is one that has been [[record]]ed on a [[material]] object, such as [[paper]] or textile by photography or digital processes. | + | A volatile image is one that exists only for a short period of [[time]].

| A mental image exists in an [[individual]]'s [[mind]]: something one [[remembers]] or [[imagines]]. The subject of an image need not be real; it may be an [[abstract]] [[concept]], such as a graph, [[function]], or "imaginary" [[entity]]. For example, [[Sigmund Freud]] claimed to have [[dream]]ed [[purely]] in aural-images of dialogs. The [[development]] of synthetic acoustic [[technologies]] and the [[creation]] of [[sound]] art have led to a [[consideration]] of the [[possibilities]] of a sound-image made up of irreducible phonic substance beyond [[linguistic]] or musicological [[analysis]]. | | A mental image exists in an [[individual]]'s [[mind]]: something one [[remembers]] or [[imagines]].

− | A still image is a single [[static]] image, as distinguished from a moving image.
