Photoshop for All: Re: [photoshop-beginners] Quick "gray card" in PS

This should never be a problem for me as I am never adjusting/changing my original - I sometimes end up with 3 or 4 copies. Editing in PS is more of a challenge and learning experience for me than a technical one - I am truly an amateur

when it comes to the deeper folds of PS.

Destructive is that it is actually changing pixel valvues permanently whereas the adjustment layers is not actually changing pixel values. Here is a link to Adobe's brief explanation of adjustment layers. http://www.adobe.com/designcenter-archive/keyconcepts/articles/concept_adjustmentlayer.html

I don't understand your statement of "destructive" when it creates an "improvement" to the image.
a question - not a challenge.

One thing about the image>adjustments>brightness/contrast is that it works a bit more destructively than does an adjustment layer. The wonderful thing about Photoshop is that there is more than one way to do things and dependent upon each individual's workflow one method may be a better fit than another.
