When editing your images in Adobe Photoshop, you have two editing styles. Destructive and non-destructive editing. Destructive editing is when you manipulate the pixels in a image and those changes are permanent. Non-destructive is when pixels in a image are not destroyed or manipulated. When a image is save a image that is edited destructively the pixels can not be restored to its original state.
Now, knowing this is important for any and all digital artist. Why? Well say your editing a photo. You remove a tree from the background. Later you realize the image looks better with the tree. The tree has been removed the original photo you took and now you have to take another photograph. Why? Well because you removed the tree pixels from the image and they can't be brought back. All this catches my attention because, you screw up and delete something from your original image you cannot bring it back. This is all because of small tiny things called pixels. Something so small can cause so much chaos. Now, I researched more about destructive and non-destructive editing. I learned a couple of techniques you can use to avoid destroying your image when editing it in photo editing software's. The most effective technique I would say is masking. This is because you can edit the image and mask without losing any pixels. The main reason images are destroyed is you destroy pixels. So masking avoid this fully. The second method I would say is the most effective is working with your adjustment layers. You can apply color and tonal adjustments without changing pixel values. Remember that our main goal of having non-destructive editing is not changing anything with the pixels. In Conclusion;
Nondestructive editing techniques Whats the difference between the two
