Apple Shake 4 - Manual (Page 30)

30 Chapter 1 An Overview of the Shake User Interface
Depending on the area, the originally saved position and zoom level are recalled, as
well as the following state information:
• In the Node View, the node or nodes that were loaded into the Viewer and
Parameters tabs when you saved the Favorite View
• In the Viewer, the node that was viewed when you saved the Favorite View
• In the Curve Editor, the curves that were loaded and displayed when you saved the
Favorite View
• In the Parameters tab, the parameters that were being tweaked, as well as the node
that was displayed, when you saved the Favorite View
Working With Tabs and the Tweaker
Each area of the Shake window has several tabs that reveal more of the interface. These
tabs can also be customized. For example:
To move a tab to another area:
m Select a tab using the middle mouse button or Option-click / Alt-click, and then drag
the tab into a new window pane.
To detach a tab and use it as a floating window:
m Shift-middle-click or Shift-Option-click / Shift-Alt-click the tab.
A good example of this last operation is to detach a Parameters tab, then press the
Space bar while the pointer is positioned over the Viewer. You can then tune your
image in full-screen mode.
Using the Tweaker
The parameters of individual nodes can be opened into a floating window, called the
Tweaker.
