There are several dupes of this bug, and many dupes of the dupes. The basic feature that most people are asking for is versioning:
1) User has an image file
2) User modifies the image file with Digikam's Image Editor
3) User saves his modifications as a new file, which is stored alongside the original file and has the original file's metadata (Tags, XMP / IPTC data). The filename could be something like originalFilename-mod1.jpg
4) When browsing images, the user only sees the modified file. However, when selecting the modified file the user can pick which version of the file to see / save / etc.
Note that other photo management programs have this ability, notably F-Spot (http://f-spot.org/Features). I last tried this feature in F-Spot two years ago when I switched to Digikam, but it is a remarkable feature that literally adds another dimension to photo management. Instead of being frightened to modify photos, users can fire at will and interact with their photos.
