While sorting family portraits, I started recording the camera setup. The same person can look surprisingly different across two pictures taken minutes apart. I want to compare the visible face outline without treating a photograph as a precise measurement. For background on the terminology, I saved face shape as a terminology reference. The actual comparison also needs information about camera distance. I plan to record the head angle, the crop, and any hair hiding the cheeks. Before discussing proportions, I would set aside pictures with very different framing. I would keep the original files and place these observations in separate notes, so another family member can revisit the comparison. An uncertain outline label should remain provisional, especially when the two pictures differ in pose or when part of the jaw is hidden. Does anyone use a simple annotation method that keeps observations separate from guesses?
