Still using Photoshop's image adjustments and damaging your photos? Here's why adjustment layers are a better, more flexible and non-destructive way to edit your images.

Photoshop includes lots of great image adjustments to improve the tone and color of our photos. But they all make permanent and destructive edits. Even if we apply an image adjustment to a copy of the image, there is still no way to edit the adjustment after we apply it. So in this video, I show you how to keep your edits flexible and non-destructive by switching from image adjustments to Photoshop's adjustment layers. I'm using Photoshop 2023 but this applies to any recent version.
