Exposure / Soft Clip – These sliders control the Exposure and Soft Clip levels for the current layer. You can change the values either by clicking on the slider and dragging or by double clicking on it and entering a value in the box. The first slider controls the Exposure and it can take values between minus infinity and plus infinity. An exposure of +1 means that the image will be two times brighter and exposure of -1 means that the image will be two times darker. The second slider controls the Soft Clip levels and it can take values equal to or larger than zero.

Temperature – Multiplies the image by a color defined by temperature degrees Kelvin.

Lift /Gamma / Gain – These sliders control the LiftGamma and Gain values for the current layer. You can change these values for the Red, Green and Blue channel simultaneously or click on the Separate channel switch to edit them independently.

Brightness / Contrast – These sliders control the Brightness and Contrast levels for the current layer. Both can take values between minus infinity and plus infinity and you can change them by clicking on the slider and dragging or by double clicking on it and entering a value in the box.

Hue / Saturation – These sliders control the Hue and Saturation for the current layer. Hue can take values between -180 and 180 degrees and Saturation can take values between -100 and plus infinity. Both values can be changed by clicking on the slider and dragging or by double clicking on it and entering a value in the box.

Disable Corrections – Quickly toggles between the original image and the one with color corrections applied to it. You can toggle this option with the shortcut Shift + C.
