New Layer Adjustments Automatically only Effect Layer Below

[Andrew Walker]

Someone has changed a setting on my photoshop but I don't know where?!!

Before:

In my photoshop file if I added a curve into the layers it would just be on top of the selected layer and adjust all layers below (Standard). Then if I wanted it to effect only the layer below I would hold alt inbetween the layers and click so the arrow would indicate it would only adjust the one layer.

Now:

Every time I add any adjustment layer it automatically makes it attached to the layer below, 80% I need it to effect all layers below.

Someone has changed a setting but I cannot find where. Does anyone have any ideas?

Cheers

On the adjustment layers panel there are icons at the bottom. One of those icons is two overlapping circles. I'm pretty sure that's the one that sets the default behaviour for new layers.
