Create an adjustment layer
Do one of the following:
Click the New Adjustment Layer button at the bottom of the Layers panel, and choose an adjustment layer type.
Choose Layer > New Adjustment Layer, and choose an option. Name the layer, set layer options, and click OK.
(Photoshop CS5) Click an adjustment icon or select an adjustment preset in the Adjustments panel.
To confine the effects of an adjustment layer to specific image layers, select the image layers, choose Layer > New > Group From Layers, and
change the Mode from Pass Through to any other blending mode. Then place the adjustment layer at the top of the layer group.
Create a fill layer
Do one of the following:
Choose Layer > New Fill Layer, and choose an option. Name the layer, set layer options, and click OK.
Click the New Adjustment Layer button at the bottom of the Layers panel, and choose a fill layer type.
Solid Color Fills the adjustment layer with the current foreground color. Use the Color Picker to select a different a fill color.
Gradient Click the gradient to display the Gradient Editor, or click the inverted arrow and choose a gradient from the pop - up panel. Set
additional options if desired. Style specifies the shape of the gradient. Angle specifies the angle at which the gradient is applied. Scale
changes the size of the gradient. Reverse flips the orientation of the gradient. Dither reduces banding by applying dithering to the gradient.
Align With Layer uses the bounding box of the layer to calculate the gradient fill. You can drag in the image window to move the center of the
gradient.
Pattern Click the pattern, and choose a pattern from the pop - up panel. Click Scale, and enter a value or drag the slider. Click Snap To
Origin to make the origin of the pattern the same as the origin of the document. Select Link With Layer if you want the pattern to move along
with the layer as the layer moves. When Link With Layer is selected, you can drag in the image to position the pattern while the Pattern Fill
dialog box is open.
Confine adjustment and fill layers to specific areas
To confine adjustment and fill layers to specific areas, use layer masks. By default, adjustment and fill layers automatically have layer masks,
indicated by the mask icon to the right of the layer thumbnail. (To create adjustment layers without masks, deselect Add Mask by Default in the
Adjustments panel menu.)
To change the shape of a mask on an existing layer, see Edit a layer mask. To create a new adjustment or fill layer with a mask of specific shape,
complete one of the following procedures.
Create an adjustment or fill layer mask using a selection or path
1. In the Layers panel, select the layer to which you want to apply the adjustment or fill layer.
2. In the image, create a pixel selection, or create and select a closed path.
A selection confines the new adjustment or fill layer with a layer mask. A path confines the new adjustment or fill layer with a vector mask.
3. Create an adjustment or fill layer.
Create an adjustment layer mask using a color range
The Color Range feature, which is useful for creating a selection area based on sampled colors in an image, can also be used to create an
adjustment layer mask. For more information, see Select a color range.
1. In the Layers panel, select the layer to which you want to apply the adjustment layer.
2. Choose Layer > New Adjustment Layer, and choose an adjustment type.
3. In the Masks panel (CS5) or the Masks section of the Properties panel (CS6), click Color Range.
4. In the Color Range dialog box, choose Sampled Colors from the Select menu.
5. Select Localized Color Clusters to build a mask based on different color ranges in the image.
6. Set the display option to Selection, and Selection Preview to None.
7. Click on a color area in the image.
To sample multiple areas, hold down Shift to activate the plus eyedropper. Hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) to activate the
minus eyedropper.
As you click on image areas, you can preview the mask in the Color Range dialog box. White areas are unmasked pixels, black areas
masked, and gray areas partially masked.
8. Use the Fuzziness slider to increase or decrease the range of colors around your sample colors that are included in the masked area. Use
the Range slider to control how far or near a color must be from the sample points to be included in the mask. After adjusting the mask,
click OK to close the Color Range dialog box.
