Adjustment layers in Photoshop allow you to add image adjustments to your photos while keeping the photo edited non-destructively. They allow you more flexibility with editing your photos when compared with a standard image adjustment, which is embedded and “burned in” to the layer to which it is applied.<\/p>\n
