Copies one million times (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

images

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'copies' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'one million times' is the wordplay.
'one million' becomes 'im' (resembles 1m).
'times' becomes 'ages' (age is a kind of time).
'im'+'ages'='IMAGES'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for images that I've seen before include "Representations or reflections" , "Visual or mental representations" , "Semblances" , "Photos or representations" , "Pictures or photos" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
