You can do this by storing the original and saving the additional processing steps. Then the result can be recomputed from the original image data. Which incidentially is one of the points that GEGL wants to make possible. > You have confirmed your statis as NOISE and nothing else. Not "just noise", his points have some merit. But they are directed to the wrong audience and the intended audience already knows about his points. That ironically makes his mails pointless...
