I have 2 pastel paintings that different friends took photographs of. One we used lots of color pieces of filmy stuff (I forget what you call it) and finally decided on the strength to use. Eventually I realized all the slides ended up being too saturated in the cyan. When a friend recently took photos of another pastel in that series, I decided to just color correct on the computer and not even worry too much. Again, the color is pretty saturated, but it actually looks truer to the original by being over-saturated if that makes an sense. Oh yes, color correction! ~ Diane Clancy Color management is something else!
