This has been puzzling me for a while:

As shown in the picture attached, I have a layer that controls the saturation at the top, but when I make changes to the saturation settings, the saturation in the blur layer below stay unchanged (originally the saturation layer was below the blur layer, as I first created the saturation and then made the blur layer... swapping them didn't help).

Another similar case here is the bottom layer, which is a raw image opened as a smart object from Camera Raw. How can I make let's say exposure changes in my raw and have these changes transfer to all the layers. My probleme here is that if I change the exposure in raw, then all the layer above still look like before I made the adjustments.

It makes the "open as smart object" function sorta useless for me: to have the ability to go back to camera raw anytime, if none of my layers are following the changes.

What am I missing here?

Thank you so much for your help !
