One of my reasons for wanting to save baked in edits in addition to the originals with non destructive edits comes from past experience. In moving from ACDSEE on Windows to Aperture and then LR on Mac and then to On1 Photo Raw (with potential move to Nitro and Photos in the works), the “non-destructiveness” of my edits was lost with each and every change of software, with most of those changes being driven by other factors.
