MCFC_4Heatons Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Needs full non destructive workflow. Like Photoshop -> convert layer to smart object then all effects/filters including 3rd party plugins are effectively non destructive. It is a big miss, when you have to do workarounds like copying a layer before applying a non live filter. IMO, it is the biggest single missing feature.

fde101 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Non-destructive is already possible by not applying the filters at all - just leave them as layers. Applying a filter means you want to bake it in, which modifies the pixel data and is thus destructive by definition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The non-Live filters (from the Filters menu item on the desktop apps) don't have an Apply, and don't create Layers. They're destructive. The Live filters operate as you described. fde101 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.5, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
