Keeping Node Trees Organized
It’s a good idea to keep the arrangement of your nodes in the node graph clean and neat.
It’llmake it easier to read your tree if you need to revisit a grade later on, and it will also make
iteasier for other colorists working on the same project to figure out what you’re doing. The
following procedures describe how to rearrange the nodes in your tree, and the node tree
working area, to help you keep on top of your grades.
To move nodes within the Node Editor:
 Drag any node to a new position.
 Command-click or drag a bounding box around multiple nodes that you want to move,
and drag them all to a new position.
Of course, it’s easy to get carried away. If you’ve been working furiously on a complex grade
and you find yourself staring at a riot of disorganized nodes, it’s easy to quickly reorganize your
node graph using a pair of commands in the Node Editor contextual menu.
To clean up the node graph, right-click the Node Editor and choose:
 Cleanup Node Graph: Moves all nodes in the node graph so they appear in an evenly
spaced grid. Connection lines are routed around nodes to minimize clutter.
