Added too many adjustment layers(?) [Dupe Post - Locked]

[beccatog]

First of all I am fairly new at Photoshop. So I open an image in photoshop and start editing using layers, I added a few adjustment layers but now I can't edit the whole image anymore.

I know that might not be clear so in more detail, so working on a background copy I did some skin retouching, then I used a few adjustment layers (curves, vibrance etc) but now I want to go back and touch up the eyes and I can't do it.

Do I have to do all of the retouching first and then do adjustment layers or is there a way to carry on editing the whole image after?

You can duplicate your base layer and do retouching directly on that, so if you mess up, you have your original layer. Or you can create a blank layer and use tools with the option, "current and below" to do retouching without all the adjustment layers affecting the results.

Thank you. Could you tell me how to pick that option please?
