“It is my understanding that “non-destructive edits” are the result of using RAW images rather than JPEGs”.
Nope. Non-destructive edits is basically where you can undo your edits and revert back to the original. You can edit RAWs destructively. You can edit JPEGs non-destructively. It’s just a philosophy of editing, and nothing to do with file format.
But yes, Lightroom is built around non-destructive editing, as others have mentioned.
Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
