is an animated gif an image?
why is an animated gif an image?
is an animated GIF, where each frame is a page of text, an image?
ok, well, is a JPEG of a page of text an image?
ok well, if you print out a JPEG of a page of text, surely that is still an image then?
what if i take a Polaroid photograph of a page of text? is that an image?
ok, so. a photocopy of a page of text. surely that is an image?
neat, so if i scan a page of text and then print it out, surely that is an image too, right?
what do you think a photocopy is
@Lady *once more presses the---*
(But like. very much most of the time it's not.)
@Lady depends which result you're talking about. If you're talking about the printout as I'd assume, then I'd say no. It's on a piece of paper, not in a computer file, so it's text, not an image. The png or whatever that you obtained from the scan is an image, however.
@unspeakablehorror i was indeed referring to the printout
@Lady i still stand behind my vote
@Lady Same thing a printout of a scan would be. If the original source was text, the photocopy of that source would also be text.
@unspeakablehorror this was my thought, but the polls disagree
@Lady Which polls? The one asking if a printout of a scan is an image too got a majority nos, so I would assume that majority considers photocopy text too. Unless there was a photocopy poll I didn't see?
@unspeakablehorror the photocopy poll was immediately preceding
@Lady Ah, okay! Yeah, I didn't see that one for some reason.
@Lady Hey, at least I'm consistent.
it looks like i made the timeline for this poll shorter than usual, but there’s no way to fix that now! vote while you have the chance!
