4. The Screen Setup of PhotoLine

## 4.36 Adjustment Layer

The Adjustment Layer panel is a non-modal panel for editing adjustment layers (see chapter 2.9). It can contain one or more subdialogs.

At the top there is always the Background subdialog. It is representing the picture, that is modified by the adjustments. The Background subdialog allows to save the current adjustments as preset or to apply a previously saved preset. If you are applying a preset, you can either create a new adjustment layer or attach the adjustments to the active layer.

The setting dialogs of the adjustments are following. The title bars of the subdialogs are containing various icons:

: A new adjustment is assigned to the active layer.

: The corresponding adjustment will be deleted.

: The appearing menu allows to reset the adjustment settings and to access presets.

: Selecting this icon allows to pick a color from the document. If you don’t press the Alt key while clicking, color picking stops automatically. If you hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (macOS) while clicking, you can an draw area from which the color is read. This icon is not available with every adjustment.

The Background subdialog has an additional icon:

: A new adjustment layer will be created. If there is a mask, it will be reused as mask of the adjustment layer. Holding Shift while selecting the adjustment will group the new adjustment layer with the active layer.

: The active adjustment layer will be deleted.

All subdialogs with the exception of the Background can be moved inside the Adjustment Layer panel, thus changing the order of the adjustments.
