Apple Color 1.5 - Manual (Page 285)

When the primary and secondary color correction controls aren’t enough to achieve the
look you need, Color FX lets you create sophisticated effects using a node-based interface.
The Color FX room is a node-based effects environment. It’s been designed as an
open-ended toolkit that you can use to create your own custom looks by processing an
image with combinations of operations that take the form of nodes. Each node is an
individual image processing operation, and by connecting these nodes into combinations,
called node trees, you can create sophisticated effects of greater and greater complexity.
