Note: When an image is the selected object, the Image tab is empty because all of the

image parameters are displayed in the common Properties tab.

Inspector Controls

The parameters in the Inspector are edited by several different types of controls, such

as sliders, value sliders, dials, color wells, pop-up menus, and so on. This section

provides a brief description of the Inspector’s parameter controls.

Sliders

Drag the sliders left or right to set a value. Depending on the specific parameter, sliders

have assorted value ranges.

Value sliders

The value slider allows you to type a specific number in the value field, or to drag in the

value field to set a value. Often, you can type a much higher number in the value slider

than can be achieved by dragging the normal sliders. When using the value sliders, you

can use a modifier key to make normal, small, or large value adjustments. The value

sliders are contextual, which means that the “normal,” “fine,” and “coarse” increments

are specific to the parameter. For example, a “normal” increment for Opacity is 1, a “fine”

increment is .1, and a “coarse” increment is 10.
