    IMPORTANT - You can create your look inside of the CST's (add a serial node before the last CST). It will give you more flexibility as you are working in the DWG colorspace. If you do it after the second CST (rec 709), you can only make minor adjustments as you'll be working in a smaller colorspace. Also - Best to put the "Texture Node" in a serial and not in a parallel.
