## What it is
Unity's Post Processing Stack v2, a library of full-screen image effects (bloom, color grading, depth of field, etc.) for the built-in render pipelines. Development has moved to the main Unity Graphics repository, and this repo is maintained only for legacy Unity versions.

## Use cases
- add bloom and color grading to a Unity game
- apply depth of field and motion blur effects in Unity
- post-processing effects for Unity built-in render pipeline
- cinematic visual effects in Unity 2018-2022 projects
- legacy Unity project needing post-processing stack v2

## When to choose
- you use Unity's built-in render pipeline on 2018.3+ and need full-screen effects
- you maintain an older Unity project already using PPv2

## When to avoid
- you use URP or HDRP - use the post-processing in Unity's Graphics repository instead
- you are starting a new project on recent Unity versions

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: graphics, image-processing, ui-components
- domain: graphics
- platform: game-engine, cross-platform
