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'm from Albuquerque. I've been using other programs which I had problems with, so now I'm learning Photoshop. 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).
