My Big Problem With Non-Destructive Editing f/116
Show Notes
Non-destructive editing is the professional standard for photo editing in the digital age - and with good reason. Keeping your original image untouched is fabulous. Creating virtual copies or versions of an image to try out different looks and styles without duplicating the original file is wonderful. However, there are pitfalls, such as editing tool lock-in or, in a world where you can endlessly refine and tweak settings, the mental challenge of treating a photo as done.
Those are challenges for sure. Yet my big problem with non-destructive editing is plugins (and no, Smart Objects doesn’t solve this problem for me). Listen to this episode to learn more, and share your thoughts in the comments.
