BS_MasterColor

Blacksmithv1coreTempered

Overview

The whole colour page in one node, applied in a fixed order — because the order is the craft. Balance, tonal wheels, contrast about a pivot, mixer, saturation and hue, six vector zones, curves, qualifier.

How to

Balance first.
Shape tone, then contrast about the pivot you choose.
Reach for the vector zones only for a hue that needs its own treatment.

Inputs

Input	What it takes
in	the image this node works on
mask	limits the effect to this matte — the engine's universal mask slot, applied for every node that declares it

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	What it does
lift	Color	[0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]	Raises the blacks without touching white.
gamma	Color	[1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0]	Bends the midtones with a power curve; ends stay put.
gain	Color	[1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0]	Multiplies the signal — the main brightness/strength control.
offset	Color	[0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]	Adds a constant to every pixel.
temp	Float	0	Not documented yet.
tint	Float	0	Not documented yet.
contrast	Float	1	Steepens (>1) or flattens (<1) the response around the pivot.
pivot	Float	0.435	Contrast rotates the tone curve ABOUT this value, so the pivot itself never moves. 0.435 holds the midtones while the ends travel; drop it and contrast crushes the blacks instead of opening the highlights.
saturation	Float	1	Colour intensity: 0 = grayscale, 1 = unchanged.
hue	Float	0	Not documented yet.
mixer_rr	Float	1	Not documented yet.
mixer_rg	Float	0	Not documented yet.

curve_master	Lut	vec![[0.0, 0.0], [1.0, 1.0]]	Not documented yet.

curve_g	Lut	vec![[0.0, 0.0], [1.0, 1.0]]	Not documented yet.
curve_b	Lut	vec![[0.0, 0.0], [1.0, 1.0]]	Not documented yet.
view	Choice	result	The display transform for viewing only — it never changes the pixels in the graph.
hdr_enable	Bool	false	Turns on the six tone-zone wheels. Off by default so an existing grade never changes underneath you.
hdr_width	Float	1	How far each HDR zone reaches. Wide behaves like lift/gamma/gain; narrow is surgical and can band on a smooth gradient. The zones always sum to one, so a uniform move across all six equals one global move.
hdr_black_exp	Float	0	Not documented yet.
hdr_black_sat	Float	1	Not documented yet.
hdr_black_col	Color	[0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]	Not documented yet.
hdr_dark_exp	Float	0	Not documented yet.

hdr_spec_sat	Float	1	Not documented yet.
hdr_spec_col	Color	[0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]	Not documented yet.
warp_enable	Bool	false	Turns on the hue × saturation lattice. Dragging a cell enables it for you.
warp_grid	Text	String::new(	The lattice itself (JSON), authored by dragging in the Warper palette. Hue across, saturation up.
warp_strength	Float	1	Scales the whole lattice — the global mix for the Warper. Negative inverts what you drew.
nr_luma	Float	0	How far to smooth brightness noise. Go easy: luma detail is what reads as sharpness.
nr_chroma	Float	0	Colour-noise smoothing. Chroma tolerates far more than luma before anyone notices, and a grade amplifies chroma noise first — usually the one to reach for.
nr_threshold	Float	0.06	How different a neighbour may be and still count as a noisy sample of THIS pixel. This is what keeps edges: past it, a neighbour is a different thing, not noise.
nr_radius	Float	2	How far the noise reduction looks. Bigger removes coarser grain and costs more.
blur_r	Float	0	Not documented yet.
blur_g	Float	0	Not documented yet.
blur_b	Float	0	Not documented yet.
blur_a	Float	0	Not documented yet.
