Identifying Nodes
As you make various adjustments to nodes, small badges appear underneath that indicate what
each node is actually doing. Since nodes are capable of holding multiple adjustments, any
given node may have multiple badges; how many badges a node can show depends on the
zoom level of the Node Editor. Larger nodes will show more badges, whereas smaller nodes
will show fewer badges, hiding whichever badges don’t fit.
Badges underneath each node indicate
which adjustments it contains
Another nice organizational feature of the Node Editor is an automatic tooltip that appears
whenever you hover the pointer over a particular node, that shows you a concise list of all the
operations applied to that particular node.
Putting Nodes into HDR Mode
When using various grading controls in the Color page to grade wide-latitude images for HDR
output, you may find it useful to enable theHDR mode of the node you’re working on by
right-clicking that node in the Node Editor and choosing HDR Mode from the contextual menu.
Using a node’s contextual menu to put that node into HDR mode
This settingadaptsthat node’scontrols to work within an expanded HDR range. Practically
speaking, this makes it easier to work with wide-latitude signals using controls that operate by
letting you make adjustments at different tonal ranges such as Lift/Gamma/Gain, Custom
Curves, Soft Clip, and so on.
