Parameters

Reset parameters to default value using the reset icon:

Switch between a single channel and separate channels:

     
Blackpoint Blackpoint 0.000 Sets the black point (typically the darkest pixel). Any pixels of this value are set to 0. In other words, this color is turned into pure black.
Whitepoint Whitepoint 1.000 Sets the white point (typically the lightest pixel). Any pixels of this value are set to 1. In other words, this color is turned into pure white.
Lift Lift 0.000 Any pixels that are black are set to this color.
Gain Gain 1.000 Any pixels that are white are set to this color.
Multiply Multiply 1.000 Multiplies the result of the Grade node by this factor. This has the effect of lightening the result while preserving the black point.
Offset Offset 0.000

Offsets the result of the Grade node.

Offsetting is to add a fixed value to the result, which lightens the whole image.

Gamma Gamma 1.000 Applies a constant gamma value to the result of the Grade node. This lightens or darkens the midtones.
Reverse Reverse unticked When enabled, this feature allows you to copy and paste this node and invert its effect further downstream. This performs the opposite gamma correction, followed by the opposite linear ramp.
Black clamp BlackClamp ticked When enabled, any output values that are lower than 0 are set to 0.
White clamp WhiteClamp unticked When enabled, any output values that are higher than 1 are set to 1.
