I got it installed just fine and started using it to look at photos and playing with the photo adjustment capabilities. I was astonished to find out that if I made any changes to an image and then moved on to another one that it automatically saved the image without asking me if I wanted to do so. Now this might be great for some, but if you fail to backup your images somewhere else than in iPhoto it seems that your original is automatically overwritten. looked for some way to prevent this but couldn't find it. Anyone know if I just missed it or this automatic saving a required part of iPhoto? If so I guess I'm back to Graphic Converter/PhotoShop Elements/Photo Studio.

iPhoto 5

dave: Does iPhoto 5 remove the "Revert to Original" menu item under the "Photos" menu? At least in iPhoto 4, when edits are made on the image, the original is shuffled off on the filesystem to an 'originals' subdirectory. -
RE: iPhoto 5 Revert to Original

Yes, Revert to Original is still alive and well. When you edit a photo in iPhoto, the application saves the original file for you. You can always go back to square one using the Revert to Original command.
Also, in iPhoto 5, if you play around with adjustments in the editing dashboard, and decide you don't want to apply them, just hit "Reset Sliders" before moving on. Your original image will remain unchanged.
