previews are for a responsive user interface.

Of course.

they are not required as part of a non-destructive workflow.

Sandman
They are, however, required in Lightroom's workflow, which is non-destructive.

nospam
they are not required at all.

Sandman
They are.

no they're not.

a non-destructive workflow will work without them, but it will be slow (hello aperture 1.0).

photoshop is a pixel editor but can be used in a non-destructive manner. that doesn't make it a parametric editor.

Sandman
Using it as I described above makes it one, yes.

nospam
no it doesn't. photoshop is not a parametric editor.

Sandman
Parametric image editing is a class of non-destructive image editing where the editing software does not alter original files. Photoshop can be used in exactly this manner, and you know it.

it can be used non-destructively but it's not a parametric editor.

When used this way - using smart filters and adjustment layers, Photoshop *IS* a parametric image editor.

no
