Creating an Adjustment Layer
Adjustment layers are applied within the Layers palette. By default, all layers beneath the adjustment layer are changed. In addition, adjustment layers will work on any type of Photoshop layer, including the Back-ground. You can have as many adjustment layers as needed. For example, you might create a Levels adjustment layer to control the contrast of an image, and add a Curves adjustment layer to correct image color. When you create more than one adjustment layer, each adjustment is applied to the image based on its stacking order in the Layers palette.

For Your InformationApplying Adjustment Layers When you apply an adjustment layer to an image, you are no longer required to save the document in the PSD (Photoshop Document) format. Photoshop supports saving files with multiple layers, including adjustment layers, in the TIF (Tagged Image File) format. The files can be opened, just like ordinary TIF files in standard layout applications. However, when the file is opened in applications that support multiple layers, such as Painter or Adobe InDesign, the adjustment layers are preserved. |
