A sample photo needs context

Record the lighting direction and background used when you photograph a material sample. A photograph can help a review conversation, but it does not establish a material guarantee or a repeatable result.

Use the same simple setup for later sample notes whenever possible. When the setup changes, state that change beside the image so viewers do not infer more than the record supports. Browse /updates/ for documentation habits.
