i am a bit rusty with my photoshop

the ok button to apply my changes seems to have disappeared

i am asked to calculate a more accurate histogram

the snapshot shows

  • the original image asking to calculate a more accurate histogram
  • the next image is after the new histogram and adjustments
  • the last shows levels as i remember it with the ok button etc down the rh side

possibly now do you just press the cross in the top rh corner replacing the ok button

thanks

The first two images are Adjustment Layers (non-destructive) and do not have an Okay button.

The third image is a dialog from Image menu > Adjustments > Levels (destructive) and has an Okay button.

 

Adjustment layer came out a decade or so ago and are preferred by many because they are non-destructive and can be edited.

Hi Jane
I am not using photoshop on iPhone
I have the creative cloud photography plan which is the monthly subscription.
How do I access the levels with the ok (destructive) button
Thanks

Yes please Windows

I've changed the Topic to "Windows".

As to your question about the " X", clicking it will close the Properties panel. If you want to reopen it, you will find it in the Window menu.
