Color & Tone

These nodes handle everything about colour and brightness: matching one image to another, shaping contrast with curves, grading with a Camera Raw style panel, selecting by tone or colour, and saving or applying LUTs. Use them to finish a retouch, to bring AI output back to a reference photo, or to build a repeatable look.
