Hi folks,
I hope my question is not obviously stupid.
I created a node with a magic mask (or any other mask). No I do all my colourcorrection on that node and i would like to do some more colour correction on a node with this mask inverted.
My question is how i can copy a single node and paste it in the same node-tree? Strg+C --> Strg+V obvioulsy doesnt work.
Help would be very appreciated!
Thanks,
Paul

node A has the magic mask
node B you need the invert
connect A to B (video)
connect A to B (blue link) key
right click and reset the node B (this will invert the mask)
color on B

LOL…
When I work I find myself staring to the screen in that position quite often…. Minor note… that image is mirrored, but I’m probably the only that know that….
