Editing adjustment layers or fill layers


    Once you create an adjustment or fill layer, you can easily edit the settings, or dynamically replace it with a different adjustment or fill type. You can also edit the mask of an adjustment layer or fill layer to control the effect that the layer has on the image. By default, all areas of an adjustment or fill layer are "unmasked" and, therefore, are showing. (See Creating and editing layer masks.)

To edit an adjustment or fill layer:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Double-click the adjustment or fill layer's thumbnail in the Layers palette.
    • Choose Layer > Layer Content Options.
  2. Make the desired adjustments, and click OK.
  3. Note: Inverted adjustment layers do not have editable settings.

To change the content of an adjustment or fill layer:

  1. Select the adjustment layer or fill layer that you want to change.
  2. Choose Layer > Change Layer Content and select a different fill or adjustment layer from the list.
