Matched before-and-after photo controls

Two identically captured frames shown side by side: the same unlabeled white ceramic teacup before and after a repair chip on its rim, same lens, light and framing locked across both. No letters, words, signs or logos anywhere in the image. A real photograph in the matched-comparison genre, captured with the same normal-lens perspective, depth of field, exposure and fine digital sensor texture across each genuine capture. One even frontal light falls at the same angle and softness in each capture, holding identical shadow direction and stable material detail. Neutral colour response and restrained processing preserve the recorded tonal and surface differences between the originals.
