I agree. Especially about the brains ability to adjust to the context of the situation.

To me it seems that value is more important than color anyway. The camera may get the color off a few degrees but it usally is off consistently as it relates to the overall value scheme. With film my challenge has always been with the developer. I am always having to direct their efforts to get the image that I want. It's just inherent in the process I guess, but I do test their patience.

It's an interesting subject. I believe that the brain, when veiwing a photo, will accept certain conditions more readily because it sees the photo as a recording of fact(mostly, save the most recent photoshop adjustments). However this same brain will scrutinize a painting much more because it understands that it is basically a contrivance. But alas, I am again practicing without a license.
