Quick answer
The call
A developed photo that changes the patient's eyes, ears, color, or shape is a reject signal. Static by itself is disputed, and a photo that never renders is ambiguous—both belong in RECHECK.
Animal Hospital Photo Anomalies
Use the finished patient photo without mistaking static or a loading bug for a final answer.

What the signal means
Treat each row as a decision clue, not a complete substitute for the rest of your patient check.
Patient mismatch
REJECTDifferent eyes, ears, color, or body shape in the finished photo has cross-source support as an anomaly clue.
Static only
RECHECKOne guide treats static as decisive, while a community test reports that static alone did not always mean anomaly. Complete the other checks.
Photo never renders
RECHECKCommunity documentation describes this as either a bug or a clue depending on what happens next. Do not force a verdict.
Still processing
WAITPicking up an unfinished photo is not a valid result and may cost Sanity. Leave it until the image finishes.
Shift order
Run the check
- 1
Start the photo and leave it in place while it processes.
- 2
Compare the finished image with the live patient: eyes, ears, color, face, and body shape.
- 3
Treat a clear mismatch as suspicious.
- 4
If you only see static or no rendered image, recheck live view, CCTV, and paperwork.
