the adjust filter  store the contrast, brightness and saturation values as
floats with range 1-2 for contrast and brightness and 1 -3 for saturation.
The hue value is an integer with values from 0 to 360. This mean that you
can provide float values, though you may have to write them in. Using a
slieder for these values are easy (I did it for the kde interface), and I'm
sure that will come soon unless someone finds a better way to do it.

Video filters are also stackable, but I know most interfaces don't implement
this functionality. If the interface has a textinput belove the filter
selction area, where the selected filter appear you could try to manually
edit this string to give a comma separated list of modules. Otherwise you'll
have to use the command line. "vlc --filter deinterlace,adjust" should work.
