MP_FilmGrain: added a menu to switch between different blend modes for the grain, instead of using a boolean toggle

MP_FilmOverlay: Added a “Global Scale”-value, which controls the texture scale of the entire overlay. Reworked the “Hair Scale”-value, to not change the shape of the hairs when scaling them.

MP_RGBSlide: Sensitivity of the Master Amplitude and RGB Amplitudes inputs has been reduced, which makes it easier to use the effect in a more subtle manner.

MP_Shake: Added a menu to easily switch between the Clip, Extend, Repeat and my custom Mirror Extension mode. Added a “Loop”-Toggle, which can be used to create a seamless transition between the first and the last frame of the shake-effect.

MP_SphereDisplace: Replaced the “Inpaint”-toggle with a Menu to switch between the different Extension Modes of the Displace-node

MP_WaveDisplace: Replaced the “Inpaint”-toggle with a Menu to switch between the different Extension Modes of the Displace-node

MP_WhiteBalance: Switching between artistic and technical controls for the temperature can now be performed using a drop-down menu, which will automatically expose the corresponding input and hide the other one.
The mapping of the artistic controls have been adjusted to scale more predictably and be limited to a smaller range of values, to only output actual useful changes.

Adjusted the “Tint (Purple/Green)”-input, to be “deactivated” on a value of 0, instead of 0.066.

  My changelogs are sorted like this: New effect > Reworks > Added Features > Fixes
  
  To update the pack, you can just drag and drop the contents of the folder inside the .zip into the directory you installed the pack in and overwrite the existing files.
