Using adjustment layers from Adobe Photoshop

Adjustment layers in Adobe Photoshop change the color and tonal qualities of an image without permanently modifying the original image. Adobe Photoshop adjustment layers affect the appearance of all layers below them. When you import an Adobe Photoshop file containing one or more adjustment layers as a composition, After Effects directly converts the Adobe Photoshop adjustment layers to After Effects adjustment layers. Turn off the Adjustment Layer switch in After Effects to remove the effect and display the layer as a white solid. To remove the effect and the white solid, either delete the adjustment layer or turn off the Video switch for the layer. (See Creating an adjustment layer and About After Effects Audio/Video switches.)
