In previous versions of Photoshop, we had adjustment layers. Now, new content
layers add features and make adjustment layers even more powerful. In addition
to adjustment layers, Photoshop 6's content layers includes fill layers. Fill
layers can contain solid color, gradients, or patterns. The fill can be changed
at any time without starting over or disturbing your layer mask. The same goes
for adjustment layers... so, if you started out with a color balance adjustment
and decide you need to apply a curve adjustment instead, you can just swap them
out. Fill a layer with a gradient and then decide you'd rather have a pattern
fill, and it's just a couple of clicks.
