## A worked example

Hypothetical decision: a sealed model kit is sold in its current box. The photographer records the seal, corners and printed contents without opening the box for a more attractive arrangement.

## What this can and cannot decide

A contents illustration on packaging is not a photograph of the unseen contents. Do not open a collectible merely because a decision aid suggests another view.
