Identifying Common Issues in QC Photos
Here’s what to scrutinize for, using the photos as your evidence:
1. Color Mismatches
Compare the item's color to official product images. Check for consistency between different materials (e.g., leather vs. fabric panels) and under different lighting conditions in the photos.
2. Stitching Errors
Zoom in on seams. Look for uneven, loose, or broken stitches, especially in high-stress areas like handles, pockets, and logos. Crooked or wavy stitching is a common red flag.
