Node graph
Last updated
Node graph is a Utility effect.
What it does
Section titled “What it does”Node graph applies a node graph composition to the layer. The layer’s picture at this point in the stack goes in as the graph’s first picture Input, the graph’s other Input boxes appear as rows on this effect, and the graph’s Output is what comes out. It is added from the Node graphs kicker of the effects console rather than by name, and one node graph applied inside another is how graphs nest. A composition is refused on itself.
