People are missing the actual tip: I only used the adjustment brush at the beginning to demonstrate how it works. If you keep watching, you'll see the actual usable tip here 4:44 We are working with regular Adjustment layers. Select the adjustment brush ONLY to change the layer type and then go back to regular adjustment layers. By explaining at the beginning, I buried the lead (aka the actual tip). People watched the first part and didn't realize that was the setup for the real tip.
Nice, never understood why adobe remove that feature. And this trick works even if you apply an adjustment layer with the layers panel, just activate the Adjst Brush Tool and use the Contextual Task Bar to change to another Adjst Layer I don't get the hate people are showing to the Ajst Brush Tool. Don't like it don't use it, move on, or hide the tool on the toolbar, simple
I'm a big fan and was a student once of Ansel Adams back in the day. I see Photoshop has a plug-in "Digital Zone System" and was wondering if you have a tutorial or could make one of that plug-in?
Hey, that's pretty cool. A lot of people seem to hate the CTB going by the Adobe forums, but it can definitely streamline a lot of workflows. I like this trick a lot, and will definitely be using it. I will just add that my go to way when possible, is to Ctrl click a mask to load it as a selection, and then create the new Adjustment Layer.
Alternatively, you can group the adjustment layers and apply the mask to the group itself. This way, any adjustments within the group will be affected by the group mask. I've been using this method for 20 years now.
I prefer just creating a group of adjustment layers & having a single mask on the group. If I want to alter the mask I only need to do it in one place.
Would be quicker to Command click the mask (which loads the selection) and then create the new adjustment layer with whatever keyboard shortcut you use. It will have the same mask (and also helpfully cancel the selection afterward). Much quicker than anything described here. If you wondering why people in the comments are a tad bit annoyed, it's because the headline and teaser for this video calls it a crazy trick. The trick is that you tried to clickbait us with something that is not terribly useful to know. Using a term from 15 years ago. One way to provide more value in a video like this might be to devote a little time at the end to discussing the dangers of having 2 or more identical masks when it is not absolutely necessary.
Fastest way is probably just a clipping group. What is being lost here is the actual tip at 4:44. I should have skipped the basic set up to help newer users as people think that’s the tip and don’t watch the video. This isn’t a case of click-bait. It more of a fail on my structuring of the video. Learning.
Yeah, this whole Adjacent Brush thing is a ridiculous feature from Adobe. I wish they cared more about coming up with meaningful advancements instead of just me ways of doing the same thing all the time. I've been using Photoshop since v6, and I would do them in a second if I could now. I mean, nice find on the tip here...but I'm not going to use the brush at all.

It’s actually slower because you have to first create a new adjustment layer (2 clicks) hold modifier key and drag, then click confirm. Vs Cmd+j and choose adjustment type (2 clicks)
actually no cuz the adjustment brush is useless most of the time and normally you would be on another tool like normal brush or something so you need to choose the adjustment brush and thats an extra step @@photoshopcafe
@@Samer_Design Depends if you use Keyboard shortcuts but everyone should use what they prefer, which is why I also showed the option+Drag method as well as a couple of other ways of working in the vid.
According to the thumbnail it is Super Hidden, so it has saved you hours even days. Another Super Awesome Amazing tip that actually makes no difference except to his views.

I have extensively tested this and I get a lot more subscribers when I do. And the ask is to subscribe which is a one time thing, there is no ask for a like anywhere in my videos.

Yes, that’s a valid option too
I often put several adjustment layers in a group, and make a mask for the group.
Same here, much simpler and also then you can add extra masking for each individual adjustment layer.
Valid way to work too. Many ways to do everything in PS
is there one option missed is an adjustment group? where you have a stack of adjustments in a group, apply the mask to the group?
I prefer just creating a group of adjustment layers & having a single mask on the group. If I want to alter the mask I only need to do it in one place.
Works nicely, unless you want to modify each mask a little, then maybe this tip might come in use. Its not something you will use everyday

Yes, we can really use the 'hack'! Thanx.
Oh man i think its rather useless. Alt+drag mask is even faster

actually no cuz the adjustment brush is useless most of the time and normally you would be on another tool like normal brush or something so you need to choose the adjustment brush and thats an extra step @@photoshopcafe
and who would keep the warning msg of replacing the mask, i personally dont and thats an extra step saved @@photoshopcafe

I agree. This seems more like a solution in search of a problem.
The time saved is effectively negligable, but it's always good to have options. Thx.
Options are never bad,
According to the thumbnail it is Super Hidden, so it has saved you hours even days. Another Super Awesome Amazing tip that actually makes no difference except to his views.
Not at all helpful, sorry
Thanks for the feedback
I try to group the layers to better control them, but sometimes they get out of control for real.
very, very interesting and time saving
Glad to hear it
That's cool but much easier is to group all adjustment layers and mask the group. Then, you can add extra masking for each layer.
always more than 1 way to do things in PS, just wanted to make people aware of this new option
Hi Collin, you can also do the same with a clipping mask right?
Yes, never hurts to have options though
Nice!!
Another great tip. Thx Colin
Thanks
