Even with the most ancient of tools you can achieve the 'undo' or reversion effect you are talking about simply by doing your editing on a copy of the original. I was doing this with Photo Paint macros, backin the early 90's.
that does *not* give you the reversibility because it's not a non-destructive workflow.
Of course it is: I did it on a copy. Always, even now I never modify the original.
that's not what a non-destructive workflow is.
It's certainly a non-destructive workflow.
So too is making a background copy before you start anything else.no. that's just saving a copy.
then you haven't any clue what a non-destructive workflow is.nospamEric Stevens
if we use your definition, then deleting a file is non-destructive because you can retrieve it from a backup.
You could stretch it that far, yes.
there's nothing to add. a non-destructive workflow has a specific meaning, not what you make it up to be.nospamEric Stevens
also with your definition, you can't go back and change the amount of an adjustment unless you saved a copy of every possible value. worse, the number of files you'd need to save goes up dramatically the more adjustments you make.
You only wanted non-destructive. Well, I can add this additional requirement with an editable macro file.
oh yes i have, and have been actively using it for nearly a decade.nospamEric Stevens
therefore, your definition is wrong.
You haven't really thought about it.
