Yes and No. The image is held in memory so the original (as a file on disk) is unaltered providing you do not export / save using the same file name / file format

But over the years many horror stories from users not paying enough attention.

Ok, so my safest option is the age-old save as route and use my usual file naming as in xxxxoriginal.*** and xxxxwork.***

I usually keep originals and working copies in different directories for safety - schlepp, but it seems to be the the best way to go, and not rely on 'open as layer' option only.

Thanks.
