UnSharpMask is not reversible.

it is with a non-destructive workflow.

I'm sorry that you don't understand the meaning of that.

nospam
i absolutely do know the meaning, since it's all i use.

it's you who doesn't understand what a non-destructive workflow means and as a result, says stupid shit like what you just did.

with a non-destructive workflow, unsharp mask (or anything else for that matter) can be altered or removed after the fact. that's why it's called a non-destructive workflow.

it's not on your file then. whatever... you could, of curse create an extra layer and delate it later.

With most photo editing software which uses adjustment layers that is one method of non-destructive editing. The final product with adjustment layers intact can be saved as a PSD or TIF to be reopened at any time to adjust further, remove adjustment layers etc. Obviously merging those layers will make those adjustments permanent.

Then Adobe has a second level of non-destructive editing with the use of *Smart Objects*. ...and non-destructive editing in Lightroom is something else all together.

These days with my LR+PS workflow many of my images make a round trip from LR to PS and back to LR have all the layers retained. If I need a JPEG I use the LR export dialog. -- Regards,
