Here is an example of part of the resulting file from Darktable when editing an image Īll NDE Editors will store information in a way like this, How exactly depends on the editor. This is just some super basic changes but they can be much more complicated than this.
Just make some random changes and take a look at the file it saves.ĮDIT: I realized it would be easier to just to grab one of mine. It has a pretty steep learning curve but don’t worry about making the perfect changes.

With a non-destructive tool, what is saved are the instructions for how to edit the file as opposed to the edits themselves. None of the things you describe are what are commonly referred to as non-destructive editing. Its not just the ability to go back but how you can tweak and adjust things throughout the editing process without having to undo any of the edits. GIMP folks dont even make this claim, so why are you even arguing this? Its one of the major things being worked on in GEGL right now.ĮDIT: Another point of NDE is that you can go back and adjust any of the filters applied at any point, you dont have to undo things to make tweaks to layers. GIMP does not support this (yet but will in 3.2) which means it requires more time, resources, and effort to produce the same result with the same quality. Darktable, Krita, Rawtherapee, Photoshop, and many others do it this way.
Non Destructive editing is specifically the use of adjustment layers and layers effects that dont mess with the original image. Thats not what is referred to as non destructive editing, thats literally making dozens of copies of an image to do single destructive edits to emulate it. I dont think you actually understand what the term refers to based on that statement. Saying that GIMP does not allow you to do non-destructive edits is simply false. Perhaps it’s not as convenient as with procedural adjustment layers, but it’s still non-destructive. If you save any “destructive” edits to a new layer, you have a non-destructive edit (i.e. Ill probably go back and redo this after ive learned some new tricks though. Krita for painting/animation is a slam dunk though, its so good and its brush engine is amazing but its designed to be lolĮDIT: I cant find the finished one but an example is this image i was working on a while ago but this image took something like 60+ layers simply because if i didnt do it that way the image became a mess with the needed edits for what i was going for.
I love and use GIMP for all my photo editing work I can’t do in Darktable but anyone being honest isn’t going to say its the same as Photoshop as ATM Photoshop is a better tool. Krita on the other hand works in adjustment layers just like Photoshop. Its on the roadmap for gimp 3.2 but not there yet. In GIMP unless you use use it in a specific way with lots of layer copies of the original image degrades image quality with too many edits. Operations in GIMP except maybe a couple actually change the original image. GIMP does not support non destructive yet. Both Krita and GIMP support destructive and non-destructive image editing (just like photoshop).
