Edit Breakdown shows one frame twice. A before and after pair sits at the top, the straight lab scan beside the final print file, each captioned so the change is legible. Below, four numbered steps describe the entire edit in order, tonal balance, dodge and burn, colour, and crop and finish, and a bordered note closes the block by naming what the retouching never does.
Frames and edit steps are two typed arrays, both drawn with the shared Placeholder for the imagery. Capping the process at four named steps is the distinctive choice: it makes a transparency claim concrete, a photographer showing the exact moves rather than asserting that the work is untouched.
Reach for this block on an about or process page for a photographer whose editing honesty is part of the pitch, film shooters and documentary workers especially. The installer swaps the two frames, the four step descriptions, and the closing note for their own workflow.

Tip: naming what you do not do carries more weight than a filter list; a stated limit reads as a standard, not a shortcoming.
