One panel, live in the Live ViewerColour
Contrast, highlights, shadows, whites, blacks, vibrance, saturation, hue and HSL per colour.
Colour wheels
Shadows, midtones and highlights, the classic lift, gamma and gain.
Curves
An RGB curve plus separate red, green and blue curves.
Looks
Load any .cube LUT, or just drop it on the panel. Save your grades as looks and reuse them.

Finish
Clarity, sharpen, noise and vignette for the last touch.
Before / After
One click to compare the graded image with the original.
Native Octane
Finisher drives Octane's own compositor. Exposure, white balance, bloom and glare stay in the camera tag, as usual.
