Baking Adjustment Layer to all layers in group?

[Steve555]

Hi

I have 20+ layers that all need the same levels adjustment, so I put them in a group, and applied a Levels Adjustment Layer to the group.

Is there a way to bake that adjustment in to every individual layer, while retaining them as separate layers?

Thanks

Steve

If you have a version of Photoshop below CS4 then you can grab the adjustment effect on one layer and drag it down to add to all the others and it will apply it to everylayer very quickly and easily I used to do it all the time

Thanks, but I have CS5 and it doesn't seem possible to move/copy the adjustment layer indepenedly.

Sorry I just read your post more clearly you might be able to achieve this by making the adjustment levels layer onto a normal layer by removing the layer mask, unlink the mask from the adjustment and then select it and delete it. Then hide the other layers and maybe use the merge visible option to create the baked adjustment and keep the layers like you want to, this should work with groups so I might be worth having a go.

I hope this helps Good luck
