Summary

In our daily lives dealing with images, we have the mental notion that we are reproducing an original. This notion is generally helpful in guiding image and colour processing decisions, but often it turns into a hindrance when the words we use lead to artificial constraints that we impose onto the problem. This paper describes some scenarios in which a broader definition of the word ‘reproduction’ might be beneficial.
