I have only tested this version with Nuke 16.0v4, where it works well. It has not yet been tested with other versions of Nuke.
The original LUE Grading tool was created by Mads Hagbarth Damsbo:

Compatible Nuke versions: 8.0 or later
Compatibility: Linux, Mac, Windows
LUE is a powerful and advanced color-grading toolset. However, the original version has not been updated in some time and is no longer fully compatible with recent versions of Nuke.
I made several compatibility fixes to get it working in Nuke 16.0 and also added a few small workflow improvements.
Here is what has been changed:
1. Nuke 16.0 compatibility
Fixed the original node’s Python compatibility issues, making it compatible with Nuke 16.0.
2. Numerical controls for the primary color wheels
Added numerical controls below the corresponding Lift, Gamma, Gain, Shadows, Midtones, and Highlights color wheels in the Primaries panel.
The numerical fields are displayed as:
Y: Luma / R: Red / G: Green / B: Blue
Artists can work with either the color wheels or precise numerical values. Values can also be adjusted using the mouse wheel, and the numerical controls and color wheels remain synchronized in both directions.
3. Improved Clear function in Hue Corrections
The original Clear function, which reset all curves at once, has been updated with a target dropdown containing:
All / HueVsHue / HueVsSat / HueVsLum / SatVsSat / SatVsLum / BlackAndWhite
Selecting All resets every curve to the node’s default value of 0.5.
Selecting a specific curve resets only that curve to the node’s default value of 0.5.
Enjoy this excellent toolset!
All credit for the original LUE Grading tool goes to Mads Hagbarth Damsbo. Many thanks to him for creating and sharing this fantastic Gizmo.
