Point at the ink threshold

—

Move over the frame and it previews the split at whatever you're pointing at. Click to keep it. You aren't choosing a number, you're pointing at the thing you want to become ink. replaces · Threshold 1–99

Drag the shadow lift

—

Grab the shadow and pull. The sheet stands further off the wall as you drag — you're manipulating the consequence, which is the only part you can actually see. replaces · Lift 0–100

Handle the beam aim · zoom · keystone

—

Drag inside the light to aim it, an edge to zoom, a corner to keystone. One surface, three parameters, no labels. replaces · Across · Height · Zoom · Keystone

Push the type margin · leading · bleed

—

Drag the headline to set the margin, the gap between the bottom lines to open the leading, the right edge to push the bleed. Typesetting by moving type. replaces · Margin · Leading · Bleed

Scrub the frame exposure · contrast

—

Drag anywhere on the image — sideways for contrast, up and down for exposure. Two parameters on one gesture, with your eye on the picture instead of on a panel. replaces · Exposure · Contrast

Move the lamp lamp position

—

Drag the hotspot itself. The sheen and the falloff follow, because the highlight is the lamp as far as the picture is concerned. replaces · Lamp X · Lamp Y · Lamp dist
