Creating Fill and Adjustment Layers
Just as smart filters allow you to reedit your filters at a later date, fill and

directly filling or applying single adjustments. In the following steps you will
create both fill and adjustment layers and control their scope with clipping
groups.

You cannot see the green hue because the pixels on the Base layer
obscure the fill layer underneath. Double-click just to the right of the

Blending Options page. Drag the slider labeled This Layer to the left
until the value reads 190 (see Figure 11.14). Click OK.
