[Adjustments don't open as a separate layer]

Thanks, I was able to get the adjustments to be added as new layers.

I want the opposite to happen when with adding masks to existing adjustment layers.  I make a selection, then, with an adjustment layer selected, I click on the 'Mask Layers' icon and choose 'Mask'.  This creates mask as a new layer.

I want the mask applied to the selected adjustment layer (as I've seen in various videos).  In the Assistant Preferences, the 'Add mask layer to selection' is set to 'Add mask based on selection'.  However, this creates a new layer for the mask.  If the setting is changed to 'Add mask as new layer', well, again, a new layer is created.

Is there a way to do this?  The documentation seems to say there is, but it's not working for me.

Using Photo 2.04.

When I add a new adjustment layer, it appears as a child of the active layer.  Every video I watch shows adjustment layers being created as separate layers above the active layer.  I prefer this approach.  How do I make it the default behavior?
