After seeing the amazing pictures the Nokia N9 can take, the manufacturer is now advertising one of the phone’s features. According to Espoo, the N9 “is the first phone – ever – to feature something called non-destructive photo editing”.

What this means is that you can manipulate a picture as much as you’d like and still have the ability to revert to the original at any given moment. In the example given by Nokia, a picture is edited in terms of red-eye reduction, cropping, editing, brightness bump, etc., and then saved to the library. Once you open up the edited picture you’ll be presented with a button that reads “Reset to original”. It’s pretty self-explanatory, pressing the button will revert to the original, unedited version of the picture you’ve taken. That’s what Nokia calls non-destructive photo editing on the N9. Cool stuff!
