Digital BW, The Print

Hi Walt,

You can have several layers and select -say- the top
one, to which you want to apply an adjustment or even
several of them. Make adjustment layers on top of it,
and when done, select them and the layer you're
working on. Group them as a smart object and your
adjustment will only affect the layer with which you
grouped them without affecting any of the layers
underneath. You can change contrast, color and
everything you want to just one part of an image in a
pretty simple manner. FWIW
