There is no need for something new.

1. Use the two buttons "apply" and "undo" in all tools.

2. Remove "ok", "cancel" and "try".

3. Make the side-panes smarter, i.e. knowing whether they are visible or not.

If there is a side-pane "tool" which shows the currently active tool, the user
can close it as he can do with e.g. the meta-data side-pane by clicking on it.
So if the side-pane is not visible there is no need to use the tool on the
picture.

If the user wants to apply the tool to the current picture he clicks on "apply"
if he wants to use it with another picture he just selects the other picture.

If the user wants to undo what he did with the tool, he just clicks on undo.

If the user wants to cancel what he did to the current picture he jumps to
another picture or closes the editor and is asked whether to save and picks
"no".

If the user wants to select another tool, he does so from the menus which makes
the "tool" side-pane visible as well in case it was not visible.

So two existing buttons seem to be enough for this feature and it cleans-up the
GUI as well.
