Learn about adjustment layers
Work with adjustment layers.
What you learned: To add an adjustment layer
Adjustment layers give you additional editing flexibility. They allow you to re-edit image adjustments you’ve made, and protect your original image from direct changes. Try out a Black & White adjustment layer to get a feel for how adjustment layers work.
In the Layers panel, select an image layer that you want to affect with the adjustment.
Go to the bottom of the Layers panel, click the Create new fill or adjustment layer icon, and select
Black & White from the drop-down menu. A new adjustment layer will appear in the Layers panel above the image layer you selected. This adjustment layer will affect only the layers below it.
The Properties panel opens automatically, displaying the controls for this adjustment. Different kinds of adjustment layers present different controls in the Properties panel.
With your Black & White adjustment layer selected in the Layers panel, customize the way your image is converted from color to black and white by adjusting the controls in the Properties panel.
Experiment by adjusting the sliders. Click the double arrows at the top right of the Properties panel to close that panel when you’re done.
