Using adjustment layers

Adjustment layers are correction layers that adjust the color or tone of underlying layers without modifying the image layers themselves. You can add adjustment layers to test various color corrections or combinations of corrections. You can hide, delete, or edit adjustment layers.

An adjustment layer affects all layers below it. If an adjustment layer is in a layer group, it affects only the layers that are below it in the group. To apply an adjustment layer to a single layer without affecting the underlying layers, you can create a layer group with one layer and then add the adjustment layer above the layer in the group. Only the layer in the layer group is affected.
