You can Right Click any Layer in your Layers panel, and then - 'Convert (the layer) to Smart Object'.
You can Open files as Smart Objects from the File menu- 'Open as smart Object...'

Photoshop #4 -Adjustment Layers.

2011-10-20T04:56:00.000-07:00

In this tutorial, we'll cover almost everything there is to know about Adjustment Layers.
Adjustment Layers are extremely important in Photoshop, and understanding what they are, how they work, when to use them and why to use them, will give you the power and knowledge to create amazing things.

Before we talk about adjustment layers, we will first understand what an adjustment is. The basic adjustments are fine and are great to use, but they have a huge disadvantage. And that is you lose all the information you previously had. Using adjustment layers is much smarter and way more convenient when working on large and complex projects.
Enough said.. Enjoy the Tutorial!
