Richard,

I think most people are posting digital images straight from the camera and into their PC by various means. These images are often tweaked with photo software to bring them back into the artist's perceived reality.

My understanding is that a giclee (in this context would always mean copy) is a copy of that image created onto some archival paper or canvas using archival inks. The image will most likely originate as a digital image (photograph) downloaded onto a CD and delivered to the outfit with the big fancy printer.

I've heard of the practice of scanning the actual painting to produce the digital image, but I think this would be the exception and not the rule.
