Applying adjustments

Available Adjustments:

Adjustments are applied to your image from the Adjustments Studio and most include customizable settings alongside general adjustment options.

Adjustment layers only affect layers which are below them. Alternatively, you can make an adjustment a child of a layer (or layer group), thereby affecting that layer (or layer group) only.

Some adjustments (i.e., Curves, Levels, or Channel Mixer) can be made in any color space independently of the document color space.

Settings

The following general settings are available from all adjustment dialogs:

Delete—closes the dialog and deletes the adjustment layer, removing the adjustment from the image.
Merge—merges the current adjustment layer with the layer immediately below it in the layer order.
Add Preset—adds the current adjustment settings as a preset for use with later images and projects.
Reset—reverts all dialog settings to default.
Opacity—how see through the adjustment layer is.

To apply an adjustment:

On the Adjustments Studio, do one of the following:
- Select Adjustments from the top dropdown menu, and then select an adjustment by name to apply the adjustment with default settings.
- Select an adjustment by name from the top dropdown menu, and then choose a preset to apply the adjustment with the preset's settings.
  
  The adjustment is added directly above the selected layer, or at the top of the stack if no layer was selected.
If a context toolbar appears for the adjustment, follow the steps below:
1. Adjust the settings on the context toolbar.
2. (Optional) Select Add Preset to make your custom settings available in step 2 for future sessions.

To rename or delete a saved adjustment:

Long press on the adjustment thumbnail, then select an option from the pop-up menu.

To view an applied adjustment's settings:

On the Layers Studio, double-tap the adjustment layer's text to bring up its settings dialog.
