Capturing the entirety of Cinematic Color 2 in a few images is impossible, we thus cherry-picked the material we thought was important to be readily available. \n\nColour science is a constant evolving field of research: We do not yet have a full understanding on how vision works, thus this **Precis** is merely a snapshot of useful knowledge and will be updated in the future.\n\n## Posters\n\n![Colour Science Precis - Page 1](posters/Colour%20Science%20Precis%20-%20Page%201.png)\n![Colour Science Precis - Page 2](posters/Colour%20Science%20Precis%20-%20Page%202.png)\n![Colour Science Precis - Page 3](posters/Colour%20Science%20Precis%20-%20Page%203.png)\n\nPDF versions are also available alongside in the [posters](posters/) directory.\n\n## Source\n\nA copy of the [Figma](https://www.figma.com) file is available in [Colour Science Precis](figma/Colour%20Science%20-%20Precis.fig).\n\nMany of the figures were authored using [Colour](https://github.com/colour-science/colour) and [Google Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1C1glP3WxP1flByylNUTTJ24tcDhm9jFW).\n\n## Contributors\n\nWe would like to thank all the following contributors to the authoring and reviewing of the **Precis** and **Cinematic Color 2**:\n\n### Precis Review\n\n- Alex Forsythe\n- Cuneyt Ozdas\n- Daniele Siragusano\n- Joseph Goldstone\n- Kevin Whitfield\n- Kris Murray\n- Nick Shaw\n- Remi Achard\n- Rod Bogart\n- Sean Cooper\n- Tim Kang\n- Vlad Simion\n- @MikeMmmm\n\n### Cinematic Color 2 Editing\n\n- Haarm-Pieter Duiker\n\n### Cinematic Color 2 Authoring\n\n- Alex Forsythe\n- Kevin Shaw\n- Nick Shaw\n- Stefan Luka\n- Thomas Mansencal\n\n### Cinematic Color 2 Review\n\n- Alex Fry\n- Anders Langlands\n- Andy Jones\n- Andy Maltz\n- Annie Chang\n- Blake Sloan\n- Brent Burley\n- Brian Karis\n- Cedric Lejeune\n- Charles Boileau\n- Charles Poynton\n- Chris Clark\n- Chris Davies\n- Chris Kutcka\n- Daniel Flood\n- Daniel Smith\n- Daniele Siragusano\n- Danielle Costa\n- Dave Levy\n- David Baud\n- David Long\n- Deke Kincaid\n- Dirk Meier\n- Dominic Glynn\n- Doug Walker\n- Ed Giorgianni\n- Evan Hart\n- Ingmar Rieger\n- Ivan Filipovic\n- Jean D.
