So I got three layers of art in different colours. How do I adjust the colours in only one layer without it affecting the other layers. If I use an adjustment layer on the top one, the adjustment works on all the layers below, and that is not what I want. I suppose it's a very basic question but have not been able to figure it out. In PSD I would just go command-U (adjust colours) or command-R (replace colours) and this would only affect the current layer.

I use and like the Inpainting Brush a lot to clean up unnecessary details in my pictures. But sometimes I get stuck. In those cases it would be a big help to just be able to replace the colour of a disturbing element with the colour of the background - leaving the texture alone. The Colour Replacement Brush does that to some extent, but it can "only" replace one hue with another, thus not working for white/grey/black. Edit: in some cases dodging or burning the highlights did the trick (learned from the tutorial video 6.
