I would rather suggest going Picasa way. What they do is saving Picasa.ini file in each directory where any changes to originals were introduced. This file has very simple markup, e.g.: [IMG_1367.CR2] crop=rect(0 138 3191 2264) backuphash=11362 filters=crop=1,0,138,3191,2264;finetune=1,0.000000,0.003922,0.015686,00000000,0.067251;bw=1;radblur=1,0.422922,0.454052,0.871345,0.000000; Thus you won't resave original file into some new fancy one and waste disk space. You will just load original file and apply this description of changes as adjustment layers. > I guess what's really needed is for Gilles and me to meet for a few days of > discussion and hacking... That's why you guys have such a progress with Krita. You meet often ;) Alexandre
