The adjustment controls for the Quick Brush appear in both the Adjustments inspector and the
Adjustments pane of the Inspector HUD, if both are shown. Also, a floating window containing
the Quick Brush controls appears, and the pointer changes to a brush. For more information, see
Apply Quick Brush adjustments on page 231.
Use sliders
There are two types of slider controls for changing parameter values—sliders and value sliders.
Slider controls have varying value ranges depending on the parameter.
•
Sliders: You can drag the slider left or right to set a value, or click anywhere along the slider’s
range to jump directly to that value.

Exposure parameter
Value slider for the
Brightness parameter

Value sliders: You can double-click the value and type a number in the value field, click the
left or right arrow, or drag inside the value field to set a value. Often, you can type a much
larger number in the value field than can be achieved by dragging the standard sliders.
When using value sliders, you can use a modifier key to make value adjustments in small or
large increments.
Change values in small increments
m Option-drag in the value field.
Change values in large increments
