# Interface and Modes

Nobe Color Remap works in two modes:

* **Overlay Mode** (*Pro version only*)
* **Window Mode**

## Overlay Mode

Overlay Mode draws the plugin interface directly in the Resolve viewer.

Use the mouse wheel to zoom the preview image and middle-click + drag to pan it. This helps you keep the image visible while working with the controls.

You can also use `Shift + F` to maximize the viewer while grading.

The interface is rendered only when **OpenFX Overlay** is enabled in the image viewer:

### Advantages

* All adjustments are visible immediately on an external monitor.
* IDT and ODT are applied in the viewer preview.
* You can drag colors directly in the viewer to adjust Hue, Saturation, and Luminosity.
* You can enable the advanced color picker and see before/after color directly in the viewer.

### Limitation

Overlay Mode has less screen space than a separate window. To free up room, use `Shift + F` in Resolve to hide some grading controls.

## Window Mode

To open Window Mode, click **Open Color Remap...** in the OpenFX settings:

This opens a modal window with grid controls and preview:

Window Mode gives you the full screen for controls and preview. You can drag the splitter to resize the grid and preview areas.

### Limitations

* Changes are not visible in Resolve until you click **Apply Changes** and close the window.
* Changes are not visible on an external monitor while the window is open.
* Resolve color science settings (including ACES IDT/ODT) are not shown in the Window Mode preview.

## Adjustment Controls

The Adjustment Window provides:

* **Hue Bypass**: bypass Hue grid processing
* **Luma Bypass**: bypass Luma grid processing
* **Show ColorPicker**: show the color picker indicator at the cursor
* **Color distribution**: show color distribution in the grid
* **Color distribution gain**: increase color distribution intensity
* **Color space**: choose the working color space (`HSV`, `HSV log`, `HSV log2`, `HSP`, `HSP log`, `HSP log2`)
* **Reset All**: reset both grids to defaults

In Overlay Mode, these controls are available in the OpenFX plugin settings panel on the right side of the viewer.
