Why work on layers at all? They do not destroy your original photo; You are working on top of or on copies of that photo; You will have more control; You can use blending modes to change the way layers interact; You can change the opacity of any effects; You will have or can add layer masks so that you can work selectively on your photo with any adjustments you make.
