Hello community, it's my first post and although I am new to Photoshop, I had been using a competitive piece of software on as-and-when basis.

Just as in the topic, I am trying to create several patches in an image and apply a single set of adjustment to them, but still be able to disable any/all patches whenever not needed.

Imagine a sliced up pizza with default set of adjustments (saturation, contrast etc) applied to all slices with ability to gray out any number of slices by just enabling/disabling a layer. Hope this makes sense.

Is this doable?

thanks

Here you can mask and disable as many layers as wanted

Could you provide a sample opened in Photoshop with adjustments and masks? Ensure the Layers panel is expanded and visible, please.

Yes it is.

The simplest way would be to use the masking feature at the opening in Camera Raw

For more settings like filters, you could first open the file with CR as a smart object in order to gather the main settings for all.

Then duplicate it as much times as you need slices.

On each dupicate you place a mask and apply the wanted settings. (there is a trick to apply the setings layer only to the first layer underneath : alt click just between layers in the pannel)
