Sample reading

Estima now runs as a demo. Scanning is switched off and no photographs are read. This card is built from the same tables a real scan used, so you can see exactly what Estima hands you. Pick a season and a face shape to see how the card changes.

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.
