quick question..is shadow/highlight on CS2 legal if you don't use a duplicate layer?
(in a basic edit)

| Do you mean duplicate layer as opposed to adjustment layer. Can you not make a duplicate layer (this is exactly the same anyway) and do adjustments to it (just in case you dont like the adjustments done), then merge it into the original layer? |

It's not necessary -- the adjustment layers are non-destructive to the Background pixels. |

What she's asking, though, is if you can do your shadow/highlight on a duplicate layer, since it's not available as an adjustment layer. The answer is no. (Right?)

S/H does not have its own adjustment layer in CS2. That's in CS3...
The official answer is "you can't make duplicate layers". The unofficial answer is, "sure you can as long as you can do the exact same thing on one layer". If you want to keep a basement layer that is unchanged, go ahead. Just make sure everything you do can be done by doing it all on one layer. |

Technically no -- you are correct. But since one is always working on a copy of the file (right?!) the original background can always be replaced pretty easily anyway. |
