Why the camera did not end painting
The camera took some of painting's jobs and did not do the rest, so paint continued.
When the purchase is complete, return to the original window. It will refresh.
From the opening
The camera did not end painting because a photograph and a painting remain different acts, even when both show a person or a place. One records a view during an exposure, and the other builds a surface by hand over time, which people still had reasons to want. The opening covers a lost job is not extinction, revision and a marked surface, and paintings made from photographs.
The rest of the brief — the later sections and the reading notes — opens after Stripe confirms payment.
