Or simply punching in a value that you may have been given by someone else or are copying from another setup. Another great thing about the arrows keys is that you can operate them blindly and just stare at the screen while you walk the color on to the target in a very precise and controllable fashion. You can't do as well with the mouse and modifier controls, which are fidgety, more difficult to control and less accurate. This approach may work for programs like After Effects or Lightroom, but I think most of our work is far more sophisticated and demands greater control, than a consumer product requires. The controls are also far too small. You're trying to manipulate a slider or color wheel that is barely an inch across in terms of pixel real-estate and the control is very coarse. I am not against progress or maintaining that Nuke is some sacred cow that can't evolve from it's original design, but this is a step backwards in terms of functionality and GUI. I and many others would be very grateful if we were able to choose in preferences which slider GUI Nuke defaults to. We should at least be given that option. I think we went through a similar change a few years ago and ultimately it was abandoned, because it too was deemed a step backwards and back then we were given the choice to set our default in preferences. I hope I didn't come off as too critical or rude, but I have to use these nodes hundreds of times a day and if my job becomes more difficult, then I am apt to become a little vocal.
