| | | still not right
no that is not it. im talking about affecting change on only the link below it. for exaample. lets say i want i have a picture of 3 identical apples and had three layers. lets say i wanted to make the uppermost layer (the top) blue and leave the other the original color. i apply a hue saturation level but only want to affect the topmost layer. what is the short cut that will allow me to apply the layer only to the top. |

| | | keystroke command
no not a layer mask.....i understand masking.. im talking about let say you have a 10 layer stack and you want to make an hue adjustment only to that particular layer..nothing below it..nothing above it.. just to that particular layer.. i remember there used to be a key stroke i would hit in ps7 that would do it.. |

| | | OK, found it . . . if you hold option (on a Mac) while holding your cursor between the two layers (adjustment and image layers), you'll get a linked circle icon and after you click, the adjustment layer will offset and only apply to the layer below it: |

| | | Or, in your case, you can just change the blend mode of the group layer to "normal". Then the adjustment only works through to the bottom of the group.

| | | Just hold down the option key when you create a new adjustment layer and it will bring up a dialog box asking if you want to use use the current layer as a mask. check it and it will group the two. Or you could just create the layer and option click on the line between the two when you are done. |
