Amazing! Does it let you backtrack to a previous editing step?

How about versioning? And if so, does it just keep track of various stages of editing, or can you have different final versions of the same photo?

And that should only be necessary if you need to reopen edited files for further editing. Simple edits, like a crop, might only need a jpg copy, but perhaps that's just complicating things.

Already implemented in 2.0.0 !
