Hold one key to see the photograph before you touched it
FR-DEV-7 asks for the current edit against the unedited original and nothing implemented it. What the develop view had was history navigation, which *changes* the edit rather than previewing against it — so the only way to look was to undo, look, and redo, and that puts two real steps on the stack at exactly the moment a photographer suspects they have overcooked a frame and is least sure of what they are doing. Holding the "Before" button, or backslash, renders the graph with every adjustment stripped and hands it straight back afterwards: the same suspend-render-restore shape the crop overlay already uses to show an uncropped frame and an export uses to suspend the zoom. Nothing is recorded, no rows are re-synced, and the photograph is still modified when the key comes up — the panel goes on describing the edit the photographer has, because only the canvas is answering a question. The framing deliberately stays on. A held comparison is a question about tone and colour, and re-cropping the canvas under someone's thumb would move the detail they are comparing; worse, the zoom is a rectangle of the *framed* image, so dropping the crop at 4× would quietly show a different part of the photograph rather than the same part unedited. What the crop took away is already compared in Compose, which shows the whole frame. Not a split screen: that halves the working image on the tablet this column was sized for, and the comparison photographers describe making is a flick back and forth rather than two pictures side by side. Press-and-hold is one gesture on a finger and on a mouse, which is what FR-DEV-3b's mapping wants, and it has no mode to be stranded in — the button reports both edges, so a press the system cancels puts the original down too.
