Click an adjustment icon in the Adjustments panel. In CS5, you can also select an adjustment preset in the Adjustments panel.
Create an adjustment layer. See Create and confine adjustment and fill layers .
Double-click the thumbnail of an existing adjustment layer in the Layers panel.
You can also choose Image > Adjustments, and choose a command from the submenu to apply adjustments directly to the image
layer. Keep in mind that this method discards image information.
A new adjustment layer includes a layer mask, which by default is empty (or white), meaning that your adjustment is applied to the entire
image. (If you have an active selection on the image when you add an adjustment layer, the initial layer mask masks out the unselected
area in black.) Using the Brush tool, you can paint black areas on the mask where you don’t want the adjustment to affect the image. See
Edit a layer mask.
3. To toggle the view of your image with and without adjustments, click the Toggle Layer Visibility icon in the Properties panel (CC, CS6) or
the Adjustments panel (CS5).
To cancel changes, click the Reset button .
Save adjustment settings
You can save your color adjustment settings and apply them to other images. Once a setting is saved, it can be accessed in either the Preset
menu in the Properties panel (CC, CS6) or the presets list of the Adjustments panel (CS5). You can also choose the Load Preset option from an
adjustment dialog box menu. If you are saving color adjustment settings using the Match Color command, see
Match the color in different images .
To save a setting in the Preset menu (CC, CS6) or the Adjustments panel (CS5), choose the Save Preset option from the panel menu. This
option is only available for Levels, Curves, Exposure, Hue/Saturation, Black & White, Channel Mixer, and Selective Color.
To save a setting in the Shadows/Highlights or Replace Color image adjustment dialog box, click Save. In the Levels, Curves, Exposure,
Hue/Saturation, Black & White, Channel Mixer, or Selective Color image adjustment dialog box, choose Save Preset from the panel menu.
Enter a name for the setting, then click Save.
Reapply adjustment settings
Once an adjustment setting is saved, it’s stored as a preset and can be reapplied.
(CC, CS6) Choose an adjustment preset from the Preset menu in the Properties panel.
(CS5) In the Adjustments panel, expand a set of adjustment presets and select from the menu list.
In an adjustment dialog box, click Load. Locate and load the saved adjustment file. In the Curves, Black & White, Exposure, Hue/Saturation,
Selective Color, Levels, or Channel Mixer dialog boxes, saved presets appear in the Presets menu. Choose Load Preset from the Preset
option to load a preset not shown on the Preset pop-up menu from a different location.
To remove default presets, navigate to the following folders, move the presets out of the folders, and restart Photoshop.
