Auto adjust on layer only

ColinS

Is it possible to have Auto Adjust applied to just one layer so it can be turned on/off for reference.

    — " so it can be turned on/off for reference."

    Yes, it is possible, Colin.

    1. perform an Auto Adjust on the background
    2. create a new filled adjustment layer
    3. manually reproduce the same adjusted values from the BG to the said layer
    4. cancel the Auto Adjust on the background

    Turning on/off the layer will display the unaltered background or

    without the fuss of that layer, simply use the relatively new tool "show image
    before adjustment" in split screen or in toggled views…

    Whether this would work for you, I don't know but in addition to Nikon Shooter's suggestion, you can always simply create a virtual copy of your image before you do anything: Image > New Variant

    For that matter, you can add an unedited variant at any time by hitting F2.

    Thanks @Nikon Shooter

    Is there a quick way to know what adjustments Auto Adjust makes? I don't mean the checkmarks for categories, I mean the changes themselves in the inspector panel.

    Cheers

    ColinS,

    some tools have their own auto adjustments which may all be applied to
    the same layer in one move and then reset on the BG.

    Shane's idea is an other good one!
