In Photoshop, you can work on each layer independently and create the desired effect. You can also
change the stacking order and can link the layers to work on them simultaneously. When working with
an image, it is advisable to use a new layer above it to apply filters or for retouching tools. If you are
unhappy with the effect, you can simply delete the layer without making any change in the original
image. All the layers are visible in the Layers panel.
