So that works, but comes with major drawbacks. You lose the ability to drag selectives into the TL-FX explorer and you loose all the Tangent panel mapping for the Mastergrade, both of which are major productivity losses.

So I’ll have to find a compromise using just a BFX for those fixes pre-image node, and leave the rest as TLFX. Except now the order of operations is whacky…

Actually what might work (although more complicated than it should be):

1. Do the normal grade on as TL-FX Image node on track 1, but skip this correction.
2. Put as adjustment layer on track 2, that is a BFX with image node inside BFX.
3. To simulate the ‘comp/origina’ selective, have that BFX actually just read the source file, and then comp this on top.
