An Adjustment layer can affect multiple layers beneath it.

An Adjustment layer can affect multiple layers beneath it.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only if clipped
• D. Only on the active layer

Answer: (A)

An Adjustment layer applies its tonal and color changes to everything beneath it in the layer stack. Because it sits above those layers, its effect flows downward, so it can affect multiple layers at once as you blend the adjustments with the content below. If you want to limit the adjustment to just one layer, you can clip the adjustment layer to that layer (or to a group), which confines the effect to the clipped content. In short, the statement is true because, by default, the adjustment layer influences all visible layers beneath it.
