How a real reading worked

Two photographs went to a model that only classified: undertone, depth, contrast, chroma, face shape and hair length, each from a closed list. The season then came from those readings through a fixed table, not from a model deciding on the spot, which is why the same photographs always gave the same season. Estima never stored the photographs.
