our trim plate lesson rejects the window reflection

Beth, quality judged the retained plates but I copied the image labels from a draft; Grace, yes, one caption also calls the ordinary brushed finish scoring, so I've managed two different bad examples.

Use the retained plates beside the originals first. Cheap check. I once spent ages trying to understand a lesson picture before someone admitted the part in the box wasn't the one in the slide.

I'd fix the captions before chasing that exact photograph. You already know one caption describes ordinary finish as damage. No new light required to correct that.

Yes, but Wendy's question helps explain why the other images disagree. Correct labels and useful imaging are both needed.

Wendy, there are no pose notes; Nina and Beth, I've asked quality to go through the retained plates with me first, then we'll give vision the matched originals without treating the window photos as a repeatable setup.

Take the perfectly ordinary brushed one along too. Easy to show all the ugly examples and forget what should pass.

And leave any doubtful feature undecided until quality settles it. A question mark is better than another confident arrow.

We've matched the plates now: the wide stripe belongs to an accepted plate, and the rejected plate has a small edge scratch that barely shows in my chosen photo; thanks, Nora, your example stopped me dropping that one.

That's worth putting in the lesson. I would remember seeing the wrong bright thing much better than a page telling me reflections can be misleading.

Provided the student also sees where the actual scratch is. Otherwise it becomes a guessing game with better commentary.

Yep, physical plate and matched picture together. Should've said that.

I've replaced the reject slide with that paired example and removed the scoring caption from the accepted finish; vision is taking these plates into a controlled-light comparison, not inheriting my window arrangement.

Who will load the plates for that comparison, and will they be able to repeat the same presentation?

Nathan, will the corrected lesson be the one your colleague gets too? Shared folders can have surprisingly private improvements.

Beth, yes, we opened the updated lesson from the shared teaching folder together; Wendy, our fixture person is sorting the presentation with vision, and I haven't seen that arrangement yet.
