RE: Actual photograph ---> IMAGES

I don't disagree, but there are long histories of the word picture.
Perhaps photography's invention, use, and acceptance has altered the
current meaning for us...?

I use the word "IMAGE".
It doesn't make any claim to the origin, process, medium or substrate.
"PICTURE", to me, is too suggestive of SNAPSHOT or PAINTING or
ILLUSTRATION.
