How Do I Adjust an Adjustment Layer in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 8:58 pm

An adjustment layer is a layer in Photoshop that contains one or more image adjustments. Adjustment layers let you nondestructively apply image adjustments to a Photoshop document. You can edit, disable, or delete an adjustment layer at any time after you create it.

To adjust an adjustment layer, double-click the layer thumbnail. This opens the corresponding dialog box for the adjustment. Make your changes, and then click OK.

You can also adjust an adjustment layer by adding a new adjustment layer above it and clipping it (Ctrl-Alt-G). This allows you to stack multiple adjustment layers to create more complex effects.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that when you are adjusting an adjustment layer in Photoshop, you may inadvertently change other areas of your image. Be sure to check your work carefully before saving any changes.

If you want to apply an adjustment to only part of an image, you can use a mask. To do this, select the adjustment layer in the Layers panel, and then click the Add Layer Mask button at the bottom of the panel.
