Parameter setting superimposed upon an image

A method of editing a visual media item in a visual media editing application, the method comprising:

• receiving first input that selects a parameter, wherein the parameter has a current value;
• after the first input is received, determining a reference point on the visual media item;
• after determining the reference point, receiving second input that indicates an adjustment to the current value of the parameter;
• in response to receiving the second input, determining, based at least in part on the second input relative to the reference point, a new value for the parameter that is different than the current value;
• and
• causing a display of the visual media item to change in accordance with the new value for the parameter;
• wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.

One or more storage media storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause:

• causing a visual media item to be displayed on a display;
• determining a reference point on the display of the visual media item;
• receiving first input indicating an adjustment to be made to a visual parameter of the visual media item, wherein the second input is received without requiring a control for adjusting the visual parameter to be displayed on the display of the visual media item;
• in response to receiving the first input, determining a new value for the visual parameter of the visual media item based at least in part on the first input relative to the reference point;
• and
• causing the display of the visual media item to be updated in accordance with the new value for the visual parameter.
