TIPS
Did You Know?
You can combine multiple
adjustment layers on top of one
another, and change the
parameters for each type of layer.
The image remains editable and
the original pixels are not
permanently changed as long as
the layers are not flattened or
merged into the Background layer.
Try This!
With all three types of adjustment
layers that include the On-image
adjustment tool, you can use the
tool by itself, or you can start with
one of the presets from the dropdown
menu in the Properties
panel. You can customize the
preset visually by using the
On-image adjustment tool to click
and drag on specific areas on the
photograph.
Did You Know?
Adjustment layers affect all the
layers below it. Click on the
Properties panel to clip or limit the
adjustment to the one layer below.
Click to reset the adjustment
to the default setting. Click on
the Properties panel to delete an
adjustment layer without going
back to the Layers panel.
