A graphic is a rectangle, oval, etc object that is based on vector point
information.  An image is a bitmap that is created by painting or importing
(GIF, JPEG, etc).

If you paint the red square, then no, there's no difference.  But if you use
the drawing tools to create the red square, then yes, this is different from
an imported GIF (GIFs are bitmap/paint information).

Graphics to images is pretty easy: usually cut and paste depending on the
tools used.

Images to graphics requires tracing or redrawing.
