Customer file · User-tested route notes
Special customers: the request is not always the only thing in the frame
Photomaly’s customers carry small story rules alongside the print settings. This list keeps those rules separate from the ordinary size, format, and count checks.
Day 1 customer file
These seven customers are recorded in the tested Day 1 route. Where a customer has no published numeric request here, use the live UI rather than extrapolating one.
| Customer | Useful cue |
|---|---|
| Man who wants to look handsome | Teaching order |
| Passport / ID applicant | Tight portrait |
| Man from the missing-person poster | Updated photo |
| Album-cover photographer | Landscape and a specific pose |
| Job applicant | Conversation-led request |
| Student missing from photos | B&W output |
| Man missing his wife | Do not mention the second person in the picture |
Conversation can be a rule
The man missing his wife is a trap: the picture shows a second person, but mentioning it ends the exchange. The tested route also records a customer who reacts to a developed photo; again, do not say what you saw.
Later-route roles
Later requests and story scenes introduce the contact, a journalist’s roll, Confetta, the king of photography, and Miss Maple. Their orders belong to the dedicated darkroom and late-game pages so each task keeps its own working details.
Separate story from output
- Match the visible size, count, format, and output first.
- Treat B&W as its own output check.
- Follow dialogue rules only when that customer is in front of you.
- Do not assume a special-customer rule changes every future order.
