What is it all about?
The Adjustments Panel was
introduced in Photoshop CS4 to
streamline the process of making
non-destructive changes to images.
Previously, in order to make such
changes, it was necessary to create an
adjustment layer, choose the kind of
adjustment (Levels, Contrast, etc),
and then adjust desired settings. With
The Adjustments Panel, all you need
to do is to select the option and choose
the setting in one convenient panel.
How do I use it?
In fact, you don’t need to do anything:
Photoshop CS4 automatically creates
a new adjustment layer as soon as you
select an option. The program also
automatically creates a layer mask and
presents presets for each adjustment
option within the panel, saving many
round-trips to the menu-bar.
