## A worked example

Hypothetical decision: two sheers share a print but transmit light differently. Matched backlit photographs illustrate the actual samples rather than a generated transparent effect.

## What this can and cannot decide

A backlit photograph is not a standardized opacity measurement. Keep lighting and sample context visible.
