I've run into this a couple of times related to the catalog process:

Consider:

1  I import a roll of images.
2  I assign keywords to the images.
3  I tweak them, some in various ways.
4  I crop, resize and sharpen some of them.
5 I export them in various resolutions and various file formats.

Starting at step 4 I'm performing destructive edits.

Is there a recommended workflow that would enable:

* Keeping the destructively edited versions in DT, and tracking that they
were derived from a given master.
* Adding keywords to an edited version that didn't necessarily apply to the
master image.

E.g.  One time I did a batch of files with output in 18 different
resolutions.  Suppose a client sends me back an  image, "Can I get the full
resolution version of this?  Some metadata standard to track derivatives?

E.g.  I crop a person out of an image.  The original image has keyword
"Person: John Smith"  The new image should be missing that keyword.  But
the flip side of that:  Later I add another keyword to the master:
"Weather: Cloudy Bright" Then I want that keyword to propagate to derived
images.
