No... manual correction gone right. The idea was probably to make a postcard
that would SELL on the shelf. The theory here is that far more people would
buy a postcard with clean flesh tones and a white dress than one with green
flesh tones and a blue dress. Since none of the postcards would be held
against the original anyhow, who would care? For the purests at heart, I see
your point that it does not match the original artists intent... but then
again we are talking about a Picasso on a postcard here. I don't quite think
that was Picasso's intent either.
