The advantage of using Layers is
that you can save a Photoshop
file with all the layers included.
This means you can use layers
for non-destructive editing.
Your adjustments in Photoshop
will never destroy the original
image.
The layers contain all the extra
information and/ or images you
want to add to the original file.
