Obviously if I copy the images from my camera to email them to her or to

That is not obvious at all though.

You've copied the file, but unless you've modified the
image that file still contains and "original image".

RAW data files would virtually always qualify as
"originals", but with any image format (PPM, TIFF, JPEG,
etc) it isn't as clear cut. The image generated by a
"RAW Converter" is an "original", and that is true no
matter how many times the file is copied. It becomes
something other than an "original" when it is edited, in
virtually any way, with an image editor. Changing the
resolution, the contrast, the brightness, the
saturation, the white balance ... all result in a
"derivative" that is not an original image.
