You can add an adjustment layer in Photoshop by clicking the "New Adjustment Layer" button at the bottom of the Layers panel. This will open a menu with various adjustment options, such as Brightness/Contrast, Levels, Curves, and more. You can also go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer and select the type of adjustment you want to apply.
Adjustment layers are a powerful tool for non-destructive editing in Photoshop. They allow you to make changes to your image without permanently altering the original pixels. This is especially helpful when you want to experiment with different effects or make changes that you might want to undo later.
To add an adjustment layer to a specific layer, select that layer in the Layers panel before creating the adjustment layer.
Here are some additional tips for working with adjustment layers:
- Masking: You can use masks to selectively apply adjustment layers to specific areas of your image.
- Opacity: You can control the intensity of the adjustment by adjusting the opacity of the adjustment layer.
- Blending Modes: You can use different blending modes to achieve a variety of effects.
- Clipping Masks: You can create a clipping mask to apply an adjustment layer only to the layer below it.
Using adjustment layers allows you to edit your images with more flexibility and control.
