-EffectCraft ships 306 effects with 3014 parameters in total, grouped into the same categories as the Effects & Presets panel. Every effect is our own implementation, written from public behaviour descriptions and standard image-processing literature. Parameter names, order, popup options, units, defaults and ranges follow the reference application so that projects, expressions and muscle memory carry over.

 - **GPU**: 280 effects also run on the GPU compositor with identical results.
 - **32**: 306 effects process 32-bit float (HDR, overbright) pixels without clamping.
