Applying Photoshop Adjustment Layers to Multiple and Specific Layers

Applying Photoshop Adjustment Layers to Multiple and Specific Layers

Today I have a quick video tip for you.

Have you ever struggled when working with adjustment layers, and needed to make one set of adjustments effect a range of multiple layers (but not your entire canvas)?

This is an issue that used to really frustrate me, and I know some of you still struggle with this same problem.

Check out the short video below and I’ll walk you through how to apply a single adjustment layer to multiple layers (but not your entire document).

    Well, what do you know! I had read something about changing that ‘Pass Through’ mode for printing. I don’t recall much except that you should not leave that mode in place if you are going to print the doc/image.

    I want to try this! I’ve had several situations where changing it changed more than just the group. I’ve always used ‘Shift’, ‘Ctrl’, ‘Alt’ and ‘E’ to get a composite of the layers in the group, then, applied the effects to that. That, too, is limited, tho. Cool!

    Thank you!
