You can edit only one layer in Photoshop using a clipping mask. With an adjustment layer placed above another layer in the Layers Panel, right-click on the adjustment and press Create Clipping Mask to clip it to the underlying layer. Now this adjustment will only edit the one layer it’s clipped to.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Beside above, how do you make an adjustment layer not affect a layer? <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. move the adjustment layer down so that only the layers below it are affected.<\/li>\n
  2. alt-click on the line between the adjustment layer and the layer below it to create a clipping mask.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Also the question is, how do I lock an adjustment layer to just one layer?
