You can choose between them or use both. I took this from the original post where the new types of prompts were announced:
You'll be given an image, along with a word. As with the prompts we currently have, it will be up to you how you use it. You can choose to write about the image, refer to it in passing as a photo or painting on the wall in your story, or simply incorporate the word that accompanies it. If you know someone who can manip, you can have the image altered to suit your needs.
