ABSTRACT
The greatest benefi t to using layers is that you get tremendous fl exibility in controlling image changes, and the ability to revisit, adjust and view changes at any time later in the correction process. You can also store the changes to see what you did, and create techniques by examining your process. The biggest drawback to layers – besides learning to harness t he tremendous number of options – is bulking image fi le size, and organizing an ever-lengthening layer stack. This chapter looks at how to use layers as a means of managing your approach to correcting images and keeping those changes organized by incorporating layers as the core of your workfl ow.
