How important “Layers” are in Photoshop editing

Why everyone says that “Layers” is the most important

feature in Photoshop Elements or CS?

Editing photos does not have a quick 3 click recipe. Every photo is different, and there are lots of fine tweaks you should apply to make a picture outstanding.

Here is a short tutorial about how important “Layers” are, in Photoshop.

1- I opened this photo in Photoshop elements and noticed that it has a yellow colour cast.

Open

2- Then I removed the colour cast by using the “Remove Color cast” tool

3- The result is too blue for what I wanted. By turning the layer On and Off, I can compare the result
