Using the Node View

Moving Nodes

To move a node, select the node and drag it within the Node View. If you drag a node
past the edge of the Node View, the workspace will scroll, allowing you to move the
selection further into that direction.

Loading a Node Into a Viewer

You can view the image output from any single node in your node tree. For example, if
you have several color nodes attached in a row, you can load any of these operations into
the Viewer to see the result of all of the nodes that have been attached up to that point.

To load a node into the Viewer, do one of the following:

m

Click the left side of a node to load that node into the current Viewer.

A green Viewer indicator appears on the left side of the node.

m

Double-click anywhere on a node to simultaneously load it into the Viewer, and its
parameters into the Parameters tab.

The Viewer indicator appears on the left side, and the parameters indicator appears on
the right side of the node.

When a node is loaded into the Viewer, a number and a letter appear underneath the
Viewer indicator, identifying the compare buffer that the node’s image occupies.

For more information on working with multiple viewers, see “
