you have to make adjustment layers or smart objects for everything you do, otherwise it's destructive.SandmanSandmannospam
Any non-destructive fully reversible application. Photoshop, Lightroom, Aperture, iPhoto, DxO and many others.
photoshop can be non-destructive if the user uses it that way. it isn't normally.
Depends on what you use in it. All layer effects and layer adjustments are fully reversible. I'd say that these days, most of your ordinary photo processing in Photoshop is reversible by default.
I.e. if you open a photo in Photoshop and click the Levels button in the palette, which is the easiest way to apply a levels adjustment, it's fully reversible. Only if you select Image ->Adjustments ->Levels do you get a levels adjustments that isn't reversible.the easiest way to do levels is pick levels in the adjustments menu which is not reversible.
The filters menu is non-reversible unless you take steps beforehand to make them reversible (i.e. enable smart filters).that's my point.
iphoto is nothing at all like lightroom, other than casually in that they manage assets.nospamSandman
iphoto is not non-destructive. it makes a copy of an image when you change it and writes the changes to the copy.
I.e. exactly like Lightroom. LR has a better UI for enabling and disabling effects, but the process is the same.
that's an undo. if you quit, it's not available.nospamSandman
all you can do is revert to original.
Or use the sliders in the other direction, same result. All adjustments can be reversed individually in iPhoto. Well, all except retouch and red-eye I think.
Also, the "revert to original" changes to "revert to previous" depending on what you're doing, so some edits can be reverted step by step.
It's not as sophisticated as LR or Aperture, of course, but it is 100% non-destructive.it's not even close to either.
