In the early days of digital in the news business, AP required us to put "Digital camera image" or just "Digital image" in the IPTC special instructions field. It was useful in the initial years because the early digital cameras could produce some pretty nasty stuff and it was important to explain why some images looked funky.
But as cameras got better, that requirement lasted way too long and it got to the point where everything was digital (and looked as good or better than film) and we should have been putting "Film image" on the occasional non-digital image. :biggrin:
