Compositing node

Comment

A plain annotation box — it does no image processing at all and produces no output. It just holds a block of text plus its own size and background color so you can label or explain parts of a patch.

What it does

Comment is a compositing node: it layers, masks and routes pictures. It has no input and gives picture out, so it starts a chain.

Try it

Drop one next to a complex chain to leave yourself a note about what a tricky setting does.

Inputs and outputs

Inputs

  • None. It starts a chain.

Outputs

  • picture out
