Since I switched to PS CS3, I miss an important feature that I used often in PS 7. That is: the possibility to apply an adjustment layer to the previous layer only (in PS 7: Ctrl+G). In the layer panel, a little down arrow appeared at the left of the layer row to indicate this link.

In PS CS3, I can group layers (Ctrl+G), but adjustment layers apply to the whole picture, even if grouped. But how to apply an adjustment layer to one layer?

Any help is appreciated.

Just the same. Hold down Alt while hovering in the separator area between the two layers you want to group, then click.

OK, thanks. I see that the feature now is called ‘Clipping Mask’.
