GradeBeauty provides artist friendly controls to manipulate multichannel cg render passes The GradeBeauty design is purposely utilitarian and simple.

GradeBeautyLayerSet provides a simple way to specifically grade multiple cg layers using a LayerSet

Image processing math is exactly like the Nuke Grade node except that, you can grade multiple layers at the same time

GradeBeautyLayer provides a simple way to specifically grade a cg layer and replace it in the beauty

FlattenLayerSet provides a simple way to merge additive LayerSet from multichannel cg render passes to any single layer

RemoveLayerSet provides a simple way to isolate LayerSet from multichannel streams

GradeLayerSet provides a simple way to grade multiple layers using LayerSet

It's exactly like the Nuke Grade node except that, you can grade multiple layers at the same time

If you are grading cg layers and wish to propagate the changes to the beauty a the same time, have a look at FlattenLayerSet

MultiplyLayerSet provides a simple way to multiply a selection of layers using LayerSet

It's exactly like the Nuke Multiply node except that, you can multiply a selection of layers at the same time
