A friend of mine uses PDF as the default format for saving Photshop files. For both master and working documents. He never saves anything as a PSD. Is this good practice?
Answer
Actually, you can save as PDF with Photoshop Editing Capabilities checked and retain most items.
The danger is, if as a PDF the file is opened in any other application and edited (or even saved) you may lose things without realizing it.
So, while it's certainly possible. It seems there's no valid reason to do so. I personally prefer double-clicking a Photoshop file and having it open in Photoshop, not Acrobat. I also need to keep track of actual PDF files compared to Photoshop files. How would one know the differences between a Photoshop PDF, Illustrator PDF, Indesign PDF, etc. It seems pure folly (or inexperience) to me.
In some cases people are just different to be different.
