finedesign Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I am a long term photoshop user and trying to get used to AP. I have two rasterized object layers on the canvass. Both are circular shapes with transparent backgrounds. I want to overlap them, and make the overlapping area a different color. I also want to desaturate the two layers. I tried duplicating one of the layers and placed it inside the other. That does a great job masking it. But the challenge I face is APPLYING AN ADJUSTMENT LAYER TO ONLY THE PARENT LAYER, not the children. An example of my layers: circle one adjustment1: desaturate circle two adjustment2: hue shift circle two adjustment3: desaturate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted April 18, 2016 Staff Share Posted April 18, 2016 Hi finedesgin, You must place the "masked" circle two above the adjustment1: desaturate, otherwise the adjustment1: desaturate will also affect the overlapping part of the circles.
