Overview

The Back to Beauty preset adds the render elements needed for "Back to Beauty" compositing.

If a render element already exists, the preset will not add it a second time.

When the renderer is set to V-Ray GPU, the Caustics render element will not be added, as V-Ray GPU does not support Photon Caustics.

For more information on "Back to Beauty" compositing, see the RGB_Color page.
