Since you have multiple characters—and they’re composited at different places in the
node tree, a better method is to copy and clone the ColorMatch node. Then, when you
adjust the original color correction, your changes will apply to the base colors of the
other characters, also.

To clone the color correction node:

1

Select the ColorMatch1 node and press Command-C or Control-C to copy it.

2

Press Shift-Command-V or Shift-Control-V to paste a copy of node as a clone of
ColorMatch1.

3

Drag the copy over the noodle that connects the wawa2 node to the Composite node.

There! You have a new node called ColorMatch1_clone. If you need more proof that it’s
a clone—and a visual reminder of the node it’s linked to—turn on the enhanced Node
View.

4

Right-click in the Node View, then choose Enhanced Node View from the shortcut
menu (or press Control-E).
