Example: The photographs of the dead people were too graphic, I preferred to hide the horrible details. Note that "graphic" can also describe something that is drawn, example: This is a graphic representation of the Delavigne Corporation hierarchy.

1 creative: This is incorrect. A "graphic" image does not describe a creative image.
1 digital: This is incorrect. Computer graphics are images that are created digitally, however this is not the correct definition we are looking for.

2 revealing: This is incorrect. A "revealing" image shows information that one did not previously know. It is not synonymous with "gruesome".
2 unhealthy: This is incorrect. "Gruesome" is not synonymous with "unhealthy".
