Compare a Reference Photo With the Actual Item

NOTE 01

Set a clear starting point

Find the exact item linked to the image and check the notebook reference. Use a clean suitable surface and handle it according to its maker directions.

NOTE 02

Keep the facts together

Compare visible color, outline, and identifying details under ordinary light. Note where framing or reflections make the image a limited reference.

NOTE 03

Make the record practical

Check dimensions from the actual item when fit matters. Do not infer material, condition, or safe load from the photograph even when the object looks familiar.

NOTE 04

Review and update

Update an unclear image or add a factual note instead of editing it into a false sense of precision. Keep the original product information connected separately.

Before you go.

What is the most useful detail to remember?

What should I establish before starting?
