HSB

Node icon
Color

Adjusts hue, saturation, and brightness for quick global color shifts.

HSB provides three fundamental color adjustments. Hue Shift rotates the entire color wheel (move red toward orange, blue toward purple, etc.). Saturation scales color intensity: 0 is grayscale, 1 is unchanged, and higher values increase vibrancy. Brightness scales overall lightness.

Colorize mode converts the image to monochrome first, then applies the hue and saturation as a flat tint. This is useful for sepia tones, duotone effects, and color-coded UI elements.

Parameters

Section titled “Parameters”

Color

Hue ShiftNumber
Default: 0.0 Range: -180–180

Rotate the hue wheel; -180 and +180 are identical

SaturationNumber
Default: 1.0 Range: 0.0–3.0

Saturation multiplier; 0=grayscale, 1=no change

BrightnessNumber
Default: 1.0 Range: 0.0–3.0

Brightness multiplier; 0=black, 1=no change

ColorizeToggle
Default: false

Convert to mono then apply hue/sat as flat tint (sepia, duotone)

Mask

Mask FitChoice
Default: None

Mask sizing

  • NoneCenter the mask at its native size — no resizing. Unmasked regions are unaffected.
  • StretchStretch the mask to exactly match the image dimensions. May distort the mask shape.
  • FitScale the mask to fit inside the image, preserving aspect ratio. Letterboxes where needed.
  • FillScale the mask to fill the image, preserving aspect ratio. Crops edges if aspect ratios differ.
Notes

Mask Fit only visible when mask is connected.

Pins: image (required), mask (optional). When mask is connected, the effect is blended with the original using the mask (white = full effect, black = original).

Usage Tips

Section titled “Usage Tips”
  • Use Colorize mode with a warm hue for a sepia/vintage effect.
  • A small saturation boost (1.1–1.3) makes colors pop without looking unnatural.
  • Connect a mask input to limit the color shift to specific regions without needing a separate Mask Apply node.
