Examples

Open these from Help › Examples…, or from the ? menu in this node's Properties panel.

  • Merge over (examples/merge/merge_over.oink): A premultiplied CG render (CandleGlass, alpha 0 with non-zero rgb in places) scaled down and merged over a photo with Merge (over): A over B = A + B * (1 - A.alpha).
  • Transform: translate, rotate, scale (examples/transform/transform_basics.oink): Transform works in Nuke pixels (y up, degrees counter-clockwise, around "center"). The Reformat first puts the photo in an HD frame so the rotated corners have room.

Remove

Remove or keep channels / layers.

Crop

Cuts the image to a box; outside is black, or the format is reset to the box.
