From a practical engineering viewpoint more than information theoretical:
The bytes of an image is data. That the image contains a cat is information. The pixels of the image is data. That the predominant color of the image is green is information.
The distinction is usually dependent on a particular viewpoint. Some sort of interpretation is usually applied to gain information from data. Information are the things relevant and applicable to the task at hand, data (on its own) is not. The data not considered information may be considered noise.
