jitsuyo: "現物の写真ではなく、対象を模して描かれたイラストや、対象と類似点・共通点を持つ他の個体の写真などを指す場合が多い。[...] 広告やパンフレットといった商業的媒体においては、商品やサービス、あるいは使用例などを示すためにイメージ画像(イメージ写真)が掲載されることがある。購入意欲を刺激するために、現実よりも理想を色濃く反映した写真が使用される場合もある。"

Jitsuyo doesn't say it's not a photo, only that it often refers to images that aren't photos of the real thing. It gives photos used in advertising as examples of イメージ画像.
There might be two senses here but I don't think it refers specifically to image *files*. In the article above, the イメージ画像 are just Google image results. I think イメージ画像 are always viewed via a digital medium, though. A real-life painting or drawing wouldn't be an イメージ画像 (unless it was scanned).
How about this?

I think those examples you showed were of イメージ as in computer image, a different sense of イメージ. Maybe this should be 2 senses? jitsuyo 
states it's NOT a photo and google image search mostly agrees.

I think this refers to any physically or digitally produced image (as opposed to a mental image, which is the only meaning the dictionaries have for "イメージ").
It's often an image used to explain or demonstrate something, but not necessarily (see the links above).

OK. I'm still not sure "artist's impression" works that well, but it's now #4 so it's less of an issue.
