    I am Fredericksbug, VA. This video enlarged my understanding of why I should be using adjustment layers and not the adjustments on the menu as well as how all of this can work together. The issue is always how much time you have to make the "perfect picture". Thanks, Colin

    Adjustment Layers are what makes Photoshop, to me! I use them all the time! I have to say, I knew these tips. I've been on PS for about 15 years, though. I want to say this. When I was learning PS, I brought in to it some of the 'maneuvers' we used for Explorer, or tried to, at least. If you click and drag, you cover multiples in Explorer. So, I tried clicking and dragging down the layers panels' visibility eyes and, guess what! They all turned off. Did it again and they all turned back on. I also tried a bunch of dragging of layers, both within a doc, and between docs, and discovered that works very nice! It was trying things like this that I learned many of the 'tricks' in PS. Plus, a hell of a lot of reading and watching tutorials by the likes of Colin Smith and company! LOL Best PS education around! Thank you!!

I have a photo in which the foreground grass is too light and too yellow when the rest of the image is adjusted for printing. I need to mask out the rest of the image, reduce the exposure on the grass by 1/2 stop, and reduce the yellow. So, I'm looking for videos that will show how to do this typpe of adjustment layer(s).
