Hi Gang,
It’s been said numerous times that working directly on an image can destroy pixels or cause loss of information, and that one should always work on a duplicate layer or use adjustment layers.
When working on a duplicate layer, aren’t the pixels modified or destroyed, and isn’t information sometimes lost? When flattening the layers isn’t the lost info saved, so it’s just like working on the original or background layer?
What happens to the original pixels when an adjustment layer is flattened to the original?
Thanks,
shel
