## Discussion

Discussion Asset resource objects describe the data files that an asset represents. An asset can contain multiple resources—for example, an edited photo asset contains resources for both the original and edited images, as well as for the PHAdjustmentData object describing the edit. To work with one of these files, fetch the underlying data using the PHAssetResourceManager class.
