People who take photos of themselves are helping to revive the printed picture, according to research.
More than 80% of people who said they took "selfies" had also printed off their snaps in the past year, a study has shown.
But the survey, which polled 1000 amateur and professional photographers, discovered that nearly half of those asked had not printed off any pictures.
People who took photos of art and food were the least likely to press "print" for a hard copy of their image. More women print out their pictures than men, the survey said.
The top reasons for not printing pictures included cost and not having the equipment to do so.
The study also revealed that men have little sentiment towards the photos they take, with 9% deleting the majority of pictures they took.
However, 52% of those surveyed said they believed that the availability of accessible camera technology had encouraged them to take more photos.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
