Only metadata edits I hope. IE could be used to see "real photo", also
preview of some effects can be useful, not mentioning "Save as..."
option. Also some metadata can be saved in database and user may want to
make those corrections without possibility to change image itself.

I could be made only by changes in db structure taking notice about
status of image if it is read only. Also some visual feedback for user
could be useful. Already plethora of possibilities regarding changing of
metadata and syncing it can create problems.
