Image adjustment keys in FCheck

Important: As of Maya 2020, FCheck is no longer supported on macOS. You can select a different default image viewer in the Applications preferences (Windows > Settings/Preferences > Preferences).

Use the following keys to change the luminance, gamma, saturation or offset in images as well as change channel and manipulate colors.

Please note that an image must be written to disk to retain image modifications and adjustments executed in FCheck. See Save images or sequences for more details.
