once again, in a non-destructive workflow, unsharp mask along with everything else *is* reversible. this is a fact no matter how much you and floyd argue otherwise.

It's not a reversible process as it is conventionally defined.

nospam
yes it is.

someone can unsharp mask today and remove it tomorrow and put it back the day after that.

the following week, that same someone can remove all colour (convert to b/w) and the week after that, can reverse that, exactly how it was in the original image, because it *is* the original image.

that's what just about everyone would call reversible.

Another twist. Go purchase some more eggs. they will not be scrambled.

nospam
there is no twisting and you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

scrambling eggs is not a non-destructive workflow and nobody ever said it was.

if you think scrambling eggs is non-destructive, then you're far dumber than i thought, which is already rather dumb.
