Introduction to Photoshop 3: Adjustment Layer and Filters

What is Adjustment Layer?
- Adjustment layers are a group of super useful, non-destructive image editing tools that add colour and tonal adjustments to the image.
- You can edit and discard your adjustments or restore your original image at any time.

Basic understanding of Adjustment Layer
- A new layer will appear over the image when adding an adjustment layer.
- The properties panel will allow you to modify your adjustment layer.

1) Brightness & Contrast
- Brightness / Contrast makes adjustments to the tonal range of the image.
