Adjustments preview for a single layer with Edit All Layers off is confusing

[Bogdan]

Hi,

Even though I have Edit All Layers switched to off, the preview for Adjustments still shows on all layers as it would be a flattened option.

Isn't it more logic to see a preview only for the current layer when the Edit All Layers is off  and the Adjustment filter to be automatically placed as a sub-layer?

Regards

As the Adjustment Layer will apply to all layers below it, unless it is nested, I think the other layers should be included even if Edit All Layers is off.

It's an interesting idea to force the adjustment to be nested, but there is already an Assistant Manager setting for that, @Bogdan. Perhaps that would resolve your problem?

hi @walt.farrell,

Yes, changing the settings for the assistant is helpful. 

to have it in a better logic i would say:

if Edit all layers is off : the adjustment layer should be nested to the selected layer (as it happens with the assistant - i think this should be the default option)
if Edit all layers is on: a flatten layer should be created and the adjustment layer should be nested to that.

to me it makes more sense like this in relation to the edit all layers button
kind regards
