How it's used
Refers primarily to visual representations like photographs, digital files, or screen projections rather than physical prints. It carries a slightly more technical or formal tone compared to the everyday word 相, which is the standard choice for casual conversation. Use this when discussing quality, resolution, or abstract visual data.
