Title: RAW "filter" nondestructive?
Post by: dadu007 on April 17, 2012, 05:46:44 PM
Hello All,
I'm new to Qimage Ultimate (was using Studio version for basic printing).
I'm exploring the RAW editor in QU.
After I edit a RAW file I see that I can right-click and choose "Remove RAW Filters" and the image reverts to its original state.
Does this mean QU is nondestructive in its RAW editing?
I don't want to permanently change my original RAW files and I don't want to have to create a copy of the RAW files just for editing if I don't have to...

Thanks,
Dan

Yes that is correct. A small file is stored alongside the raw image with the extension *.qrs.
This is a the same as the non-destructive image editor (double click a thumbnail to open); the adjustment file is this case is *.flt for "filter".
