iphoto makes a second copy of any changes.
Just like Lightroom and Aperture.
not like lightroom or aperture at all.
there's an original and a current.True for Lightroom, Aperture and iPhoto.
Indeed it does. All your changes to the original file that is reflected in the current version are kept inside the database and can be reverted, or changed, at will.nospamit doesn't maintain a database of changes.Sandman
Indeed it does.
it keeps a database of images, not an editing database.
I.e. import a RAW image, drag the saturation slider to the max, then the contrast slider to the max. Now, if you reset the saturation slider, you have removed that effect. Drag down the contrast slider and you have done the same with the contrast, and what you're seeing is the original image. Fully non-destructive and parametric editing.
Some actions, like red-eye and retouch, can't be progressively removed. I.e. you can't add contrast, saturation and then retouch the image, and then remove only your retouching. But that's because the UI in iPhoto is more simplistic than LR/Aperture, not because it's not non-destructive.
