Just thought to help out with organizing the composite tabs… as there is a lot.
For compositing:
Input:
Common
- Image (image node)
- Image Sequence (may be redundant with Image, as esentially same node as Image, but with an import image mode)
- Mask
- Movie Clip
- Render layers
- Texture
- RGB
Advanced:
- Time
- Track Position
- Value
- Multiple Image (may be redundant with Image, as esentially same node as Image, but with an import image mode)
Output
Common:
- Composite
- Viewer
Advanced:
- File Output
- Split Viewer
- Levels
Color
Common:
- Alpha over
- Bright/Contrast
- Color balance
- Hue Saturation Value
- Tonemap
- Mix
- Invert
Advanced (clasiffied to node complexity or rarity of use)
- Color Correction
- Gamma
- Hue Correct
- RGB curves
- Z Combine
Converter:
Common:
- Math
- Set Alpha
- Seperate RGBA
- Combine RGBA
- Color Ramp
- RGB to BW
- ID Mask
Advanced: (classified as least common use)
- Alpha Convert
- Combine HSVA
- Combine YCbCrA
- Combine YUVA
- Seperate HSVA
- Seperate YCbCrA
- Seperate YUVA
- View Switch
Filter
Common
- Blur
- Defocus
- Dilate/Erode
- Filter
- Glare
- Sunbeams
- Despeckle
Advanced
- Bilateral Blur
- Vector Blur
- Bokeh Blur
- Inpaint
- Directional Blur
- Pixelate
Vector
Common:
- Map Range
- Normalize
- Normalize
Advanced
- Vector Curves
- Map Value
Matte
Common:
- Channel Key
- Chroma Key
- Color Key
- Color Spill
- Keying
- Luminance Key
Advanced
- Box Mask
- Ellipse Mask
- Distance Key
- Difference Key
- Double Edge Mask
- Keying Screen
Distort
Common:
- Flip
- Lens Distortion
- Scale
- Rotate
- Transform (does all, scale, rotate and translate – making the other nodes almost redundant unless you want to optimize processing speed)
- Translate
- Crop
Advanced
- Corner Pin
- Displace
- Map UV
- Movie Distortion
- Plane Track Deform
- Stablize 2D
Group (Relations tab)
Common:
- Make Group
- Ungroup
Layout (relationship tab)
Common:
- Frame
- Reroute
- Switch (exception, this may be a processing node on Output or Converter).
The idea is to combine Input and Output. Combine Group and Layout. Combine two more tabs, one for Upper level image edits and the other for deeper level: 1. Distort, Color, Filter 2. Matter, Vector, Converter (Or have them all in the one and same, just have the lists shown in that particular order or something similar).
The second option is having the Input and Output also with the Distort and Color, and throw the Filter with the other group.
