Using the 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 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, fine (press Option), or course (press Shift)
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.
