Slider manipulation with precision alteration

In a digital medium environment, at least one computer-readable storage medium storing processor-executable instructions that, responsive to execution by a processing system, cause at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:

• displaying a user interface including a slider having a first display range for a first precision level of a plurality of precision levels, the slider corresponding to a parameter that is adjustable responsive to multiple values of the slider, the first display range including a first subset of the multiple values;
• detecting a first user interaction with the user interface in an adjustment zone that overlaps the slider, the first user interaction corresponding to a first user input to indicate a first value from the first subset of the multiple values;
• detecting a second user interaction with the user interface that includes a distance from the slider to a contact location within a distance zone of a plurality of distance zones, each of the plurality of distance zones external to the adjustment zone and each of the plurality of distance zones corresponding to a precision level of the plurality of precision levels, the second user interaction corresponding to a second user input to switch to a second precision level of the plurality of precision levels for the slider;
• computing a second display range for the slider based on the second precision level, the second display range including a second subset of the multiple values;
• and
• displaying the user interface including the slider having the second display range.

In a digital medium environment, a method implemented by at least one computing device, the method comprising:

• displaying, by the at least one computing device, a user interface including a slider having a first display range for a first precision level of a plurality of precision levels, the slider corresponding to a parameter that is adjustable responsive to multiple values of the slider, the first display range including a first subset of the multiple values;
• detecting, by the at least one computing device, a first user interaction within an adjustment zone that overlaps the slider, the first user interaction corresponding to a first user input to indicate a first value from the first subset of the multiple values;
• a step for detecting a second user interaction that includes a distance from the slider to a contact location within a distance zone of a plurality of distance zones, each of the plurality of distance zones external to the adjustment zone and each of the plurality of distance zones corresponding to a precision level of the plurality of precision levels, the second user interaction corresponding to a second user input to switch to a second precision level of the plurality of precision levels for the slider;
• and
• displaying, by the at least one computing device, the user interface including the slider having a second display range that is based on the second precision level, the second display range including a second subset of the multiple values.
