You add nodes using the Toolbar, the Tab menu, or the right-click menu. When you add a node, Nuke automatically connects it to the last selected node.

| 2. | Click an icon on the Toolbar and select a node from the menu that appears. For example, if you want to add a Blur node, click the Filter icon and select Blur. |
NOTE: You can press the middle mouse button on a menu icon to repeat the last item used from that menu. For example, if you first select a Blur node from the Filter menu, you can then add another Blur node by simply pressing the middle mouse button on the Filter icon.
