The two big non destructive editing programs are Adobe Lightroom and Apple Aperture. That is/was it's #1 feature. I just wasn't sure about jpeg's. Most pros don't use jpeg. Photoshop the king of photo editors is destructive. You want to retain the ability to go back, make a copy.

But in any case it really did bring home the point that the service or expertise wasn't just lacking for assistive technology, but just in general poorly trained or motivated staff.

When I worked in the Mac industry we prided ourselves on being Mac Geeks. We devoured every issue of MacWeek. When I was interviewed for the position my boss tossed out names in the Mac industry to see if I knew who they were and what they did.

Now I think it's, this person has the look we want. Like we don't want anyone on the apple store floor who might be mistaken for a 'PC' :)

ah, I should clarify. I think that it should be a given in the sense that anyone should expect nondestructive editing in modern packages, and pretty much assume that it exists.

 Anyway, I'm surprised as I said, that they would assume otherwise.
