Figure 6-20. Adjustment and Fill layers, like the Hue/Saturation Adjustment layer shown here, al-
ways display two things in the Layers panel: an icon on the left and a thumbnail on the right. The
thumbnail represents the layer's layer mask, which you can use to control the area that's affected
by the adjustment. As for the icons, each type of Adjustment layer and Fill layer has its own unique
icon. With Adjustment layers, just click the layer you want to change to make it the active layer,
and then go to the Adjustments panel to tweak things. With Fill layers, double-click the layer's icon
to bring up a dialog box where you can change the layer's settings.
TIP
Digital photographers should check out Photo Filter Adjustment layers, which let you
make the sort of adjustments to photos that used to require you to put a colored piece of
glass over your camera's lens. See
Photo Filter
for more info.
