One thing I have learned over the last couple of years is how important it is to retouch my images in nondestructive ways.  I used to do my level adjustments from the menu bar on the top of the screen, I used to use the blur and clone stamp tools on the layer I was editing, and I actually used to use Auto Color Balance!!! During all that I thought I was actually making great photos, but in reality I was destroying great photos.  I have learned many ways to edit images in nondestructive ways, and the video shares many of them with you.  The great thing about non-destructive editing is you can always go back and fix things later, which is awesome if you are anything like me and are constantly learning new tricks!
