Use adjustment layers to apply an adjustment to a specific layer, group, object or an image on your page. This is carried out non-destructively (i.e., without permanently affecting the original layer or object).
Adjustments are applied from the Adjustments panel and most include customisable settings alongside general adjustment options. Once applied, they can be identified as both an adjustment and a specific adjustment type by using unique symbols.
Adjustments can be symbolised, i.e. their settings can be updated across multiple instances of the adjustment layer at the same time.
There may be times that you only want to apply an adjustment layer to either a single layer (e.g., a placed image) or a group of layers. This is easily achieved by clipping.
Adjustment layers also have mask layer properties. Areas of an adjustment layer can be revealed or hidden in the same way as with a mask layer.
When an item is selected, the adjustment layer is applied to just that item, i.e. it is clipped. With no selection in place, the adjustment is applied at the top of the layer stack.
