Discover Adjustment Layers

These work with any of the adjustments and are also in the middle of the layers palette on the bottom (pop up menu). Try bringing up an adjustment layer dialog box this way, press OK and watch it create an adjustment layer above your background image.

You use adjustment layers to fix and adjust your images.

Note that whatever layer is selected/highlighted in the layers palette (is also the layer you are working on) will be the layer right beneath when you create an adjustment layer (adjustment will be created above the layer you have highlighted).

Here is the other method I’ve described of making adjustments onto an actual layer itself (changing it’s pixels). It’s good to know these different ways of doing things.  Duplicate the background layer.

Now choose Image: Adjustment: Levels (or any of your choice) to adjust/change pixels on an actual layer.

Then just make your image adjustments and press OK.

Note that you have full access to all of the adjustments with these method vs. a limited choice with the adjustment layer method.

You should become comfortable using adjustment layers, they’re easy and fun to use. You’ll discover your own favorite adjustments for fixing up or enhancing your images.
