REally? I worked with PShop 8 and to my knowledge it was non-
destructive. Has this changed?…
-I personally find this to be the rule rather than the exception
with current sw packages, especially with a highly compressed format
like jpg, which is small enough to preserve generations of edits,
easily. I have a friend who is a commercial artist / user of Photo
Shop (among others) who has done work with Clinique etc. and I know
it's at least capable of non-destructive editing in .raw.
Anyway, just out of curiosity, have you checked out more pro-sumer
level software to do the types of edits you're after, which also might
be compatible with zoom / VO?…
Aside from all this though, as I said, I do think the salesperson you
got should have been a bit more on the ball, in this case. Aperture
isn't just a minor piece of Mac software afterall! lol!
Smiles,
Cara :)

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.
