RGreen Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 As a novice user: with all the appraisals for how AP handles a lot of features and functions non-destructively I'm beginning to wonder: if I had the choice, when would I better go with the destructive approach? Or is it a matter of manageability? Or any other aspects? Appreciate your feedback! Russell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rostron Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I tend to use the destructive approach for anything where I can easily and quickly start again from scratch. I use the history stack to start over. This would generally be the case for most of my photos.

So it’s the manageability that’s the factor, and not the functionality… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to use non-destructive approach when I build larger compositions which take much time. AP suits well here. When I do quick fixes I do them destructively and often use some other application than AP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
