- [Instructor] Adjustment layers allow you to make color…and tonal adjustments to your photos…in a non-destructive way.…What's more is that you can always go back…and see the settings that were used to make the adjustment…and refine them at any time.…They're really powerful, so let's take a closer look…at how to use them.…Now, I'm beginning this video in the Elements Organizer…and I'm just going to scroll down towards the bottom…and I'd like to grab this image of the sunset…and the ocean and then I'm going to hold down…the command and control key and grab this image…of the seashells and we're going to go ahead…and click on the editor button to open them both…in the elements editor.…
Now, what I'm going to do is with my sunset image open…let's go ahead and open the photo bin…and I'm going to drag the seashell image on top…of the sunset image so that I have that as its own layer…and what we can do is I'm going to transform that layer.…So, I'm going to switch to my move tool.…I'm just going to scale this down a little bit…
