Bypass in different tools

Hello, it can be done in a node that has primaries, saturation and contrast for example. Just a bypass of the highlights, or just the contrast...etc? So not the whole node but the tools separately?
Thanks

I don't believe so. We can Disable selected nodes, but all adjustments in that node will be disabled, not selectively.

That's one reason why folks do one adjustment per node.

That's one of the reasons to have nodes!

I'm with Jim: we generally tell students "just do one thing in each Color node." That way, if you had (say) contrast in Node #2, and then Saturation in Node #3, you could easily bypass them one at a time and understand how and why the picture is being changed. This is even more important when clients request changes, and they want to see a "before and after" that will let them know if the image is getting better or worse.

This does not mean that you need 30 or 40 or 50 nodes on every shot. For beginners, I'd recommend you keep it very simple and maybe do just 4-5 nodes on every shot -- and make sure every node is labeled and every node is identical in terms of structure. You'll find this is a clean, logical way to work.

Do some tutorials from Cullen Kelly. He has a great way of setting up his nodes with a stream of nodes for your base color correction and then a parallel stream of corrections for special things. It let's you add color looks and adjustments without having to rebalance nodes up and down the flow.
