  True, but it depends on the editing the person is doing.  If they do not need 
to manipulate the layers, but instead just manipulate some pixels in the image, 
they don't care about the layers and could just open up the png to correct the 
pixels.  But if they are dealing with layers, then it is pretty clear doing 
whatever to use that source image is better than trying to recreate the layers.
