  group with previous layer

  Posted by Rick Friedberg on June 17, 2007 at 8:57 pm

  In Photoshop 7.0, I could make an adjustment layer and then group it to the layer below it by clicking on “Layer” then “Group with Previous” so that it only affects that layer and no others. I now have Photoshop CS (version 8) and do not know how to do than any longer. Advice please?

  Thanks.

  That sounds like a ‘Clipping Mask’ to me. Try moving your cursor in between the two layers and opt-clicking (alt-click on PC), or select the top layer and press cmd-opt-g (ctrl-alt-g on PC) or go to Layer > Create Clipping Mask.
