# Controlling Image Display Gesturally

You can adjust exposure and black level settings directly in the image window of the Player or a module viewport. You can adjust the image data type in a module viewport. The lower left corner of the image in the Player and each viewport display these settings. The Player only displays these settings as you make changes.

2. Do one of the following:
   - Press Shift+E and drag left or right in the viewport to decrease or increase the exposure.
   - Press Shift+C and drag left or right in the viewport to decrease or increase the contrast.
3. If you are in a module, you can also do one of the following:
   - Click the Preset mode to alternate between RGB mode and Matte mode.
   - Click the Bypass/Active mode to alternate between Bypass mode (colour management is deactivated in the current display window), and Active Mode (settings are enabled).
   - Click the image data type to cycle through video, logarithmic, and linear settings.

Note If you are in a module, click Reset to restore default exposure and contrast settings. Ctrl-click either the exposure or contrast setting to reset it exclusively.
