Overview of the Inspector
While the creation and connection of nodes in the Node Editor determines the tools and order
of operations that make up a composition, the Inspector (previously called the Control Panel) is
where you adjust the various parameters inside each node to do what needs to be done.
Inspector displays the Brightness Contrast controls.
This chapter covers methods for opening node parameters in the Inspector to edit them in
different ways according to the type of available controls.
To display the Inspector:
 Click the Inspector button on the UI toolbar.
The Tools and Modifiers Panels
The Inspector is divided into two overall panels.
 The Tools panel is where the parameters of selected nodes appear so you can edit them.

as well as automated expressions that you can attach to individual parameters to create
animated effects. Additionally, certain nodes such as the Paint node generate data
such as Strokes, which are saved in the Modifiers panel.
