notes.

An image for a narrow package panel needs a different composition from a wide page opening.

List the placements before discussing a shot. Include the required crop, background, space for text and whether the image must work in more than one format. Supply a rough layout when it helps explain the constraint.

Keep creative references separate from deliverable requirements. References describe a visual intention; the final shot list describes what must actually be produced.

A useful starting list

• What is being photographed or illustrated?
• Where will each final image appear?
• Which details must remain visible?
• What crops and file formats are required?
• Who signs off the treatment and the final files?

Collect feedback in one place. Identify the image and area, explain the issue, and provide a reference if colour, texture or shape is important. “Match the approved product sample” is more actionable than “make it feel different.”

Review on a suitable display and confirm which file is the latest version. Keep an agreed revision list so separate comments do not undo one another.

Store original files separately from final exports. Use a consistent project name and record the agreed usage, image credit and delivery date beside the files.

Keep a second copy in a separate location. When a new use is proposed, check the original agreement before commissioning additional exports.
