Interesting thought on this: many, perhaps most or even all, photo
processing services use digital processing these days. The negatives are
stilled developed the old-fashioned way (no way to avoid that), but then
they are fed into a unit that scans, inverts, sometimes auto-corrects, and
then prints the photos.
So just about any photo is a 'digital picture', to some extent.
