I use LR and have never used PS before. I am curious about how "layers" work in PS, however.
In basic terms, how do layers work? Never having used it before, I am picturing starting with the initial image file, then electronically "layering" a clear film over the image and making changes to that clear file. Then when you look at the 2 layers together, you see the "new" image which is composed of the initial file plus the first layer with the edits made to it. Rinse, repeat.
Is that how it works?
