There on the rack was a card of the Picasso "bride"
painting. Yet the colors had been altered so that the flesh tones
were -
flesh colored, and the wedding dress was - white!
Ha! That's funny and sad at the same time, a good example of manual
correction gone horribly wrong.
Also interesting that you mention two kinds of postcards, one of
artwork and one of the city streets. It could be argued that the first
kind is an attempt at material reproduction, and the second kind is an
attempt at reproduction of perception, a kind of memory playback. For
material reproduction you want the postcard or printed photo to
resemble the original physical material, to mimic it's reflective
properties so side by side in any light they'd look the same.
Reproduction of perception on the other hand is less concerned with a
material's physical properties than the experience of that material in
the original environment and lighting, the sunset example mentioned
earlier. It seems you'd want to take a different approach to color for
each goal. Just something to think about.
