Not sure what your prior experience is in this matter, but here are my general thoughts on book writing. I have written, or been involved in the writing of, a few books. My e pertain every was that it is easier to start a book from the TOC.

This look interesting. I am wondering if your approach employs complementary colors. If so, do you use the RGB color wheel, or RYB? I believe that the later makes more sense, but the former seems to be the default in similar work.

It’s interesting that they are demoing a 3d app on the screen. Does this mean that finally 3D on a Mac is not underpowered. The hold point always used to be the graphics card, but will apples new chip be equal to the task?

The difference between Colour and non-Colour is more precisely expressed as the difference between chromacity and lightness. We must not forget that chromatic vision developed after lightness vision. The former developed as response to the

I disagree. Our tastes migrate, and what satisfies us yesterday may look bogus today. I remember being blown away by the ch of Terminator 2, which looks very pale nowadays. Still a good film though.

Nowadays All movies are, to some degree, cg’d. Color grading (the final stage of the post-production process) is entirely digital, and things are being done with digital color grading which would have been un-dreamable in analog days. Also,

TFA describes a nice distinction. A value like lightens exists as a ramp of intensity, bound at each end by zero and one. Hue, on the other hand, is effectively a range of differences, each blending to the other. I can think of few other ph
