Or am I totally misunderstanding > the weird between-the-lines tone in your sentences? Complete misunderstanding. They want to be able to prove what has been done to the image in the processing. As in: "Is this scratch really on the object and has been revealed from the raw photo with a contrast enhancement or has it been inserted with the clone tool?". Usually these disputes don't come up and so the logs don't have to be reader friendly. Some crypto signature would be even nicer. No checking of job performance or such nasty stuff. There are some guys who want to get GIMP instead of PS used in their organisation. They have a lot of opposition (the usual crowd: Fanboys, marketing, "No Price - No Quality" and "I don't want to learn new stuff") and are looking for stuff that would be a technical advantage over PS. PS can log, but you can switch the logging off without trace during editing while you clone in something. There is a lot of internal politics at stake and so I can't be more specific about the people behind this. Nothing to do with me personally or my job as a teacher, they contacted me as the host of "Meet the GIMP" and wrongly assumed I would know such stuff.
