Adjustment Layers

*Do not worry if your version of Photoshop does not have Adjustment Layers.

The last video in this series shows you how to achieve each of these effects without them. I do recommend that you watch all of the videos because there’s a ton of helpful information in there – even if you don’t have (or use) Adjustment Layers.

*If your version of Photoshop does have adjustment layers, I recommend that you still watch the video on working without Adjustment Layers because the solution is a technique that we don’t really cover anywhere else.
