Adjustment layer

A layer that lets you apply color and tonal adjustments to your image without permanently changing pixel values. Use adjustment layers to experiment with color and color tones. You can think of an adjustment layer as a veil through which the underlying layers are seen.

The original image on the left has no adjustment layer. The image on the right has an Invert adjustment layer. You can turn off or edit an adjustment layer at any time.
