The usual problematic workflow:

- You finish an image
- You flatten and resize it
- You save the jpg file using a save as command, creating a secondary file
- You hit ctrl+S out of habit
- You close the file.

The save as command DOES NOT associate the work file with the new file you just created, so you have just overwritten your original file with a smaller and flat version of the image. And your snapshot was lost because you closed the file because you were done with it.

Bam, damage done.

Here is where the duplicate file comes in handy; Since you never flattened the original file, if you saved it, no problem;
If you happen to have taken the steps described above, you still have an untouched file so you can restore your original file no problem.

The snapshot is handy, but it's lost if you close the file.
If you close the file using the duplicate command, you still have the second instance of the file to save ya.

Hence why I advocate its use.
