Photo > Edit In > Edit in PhotoCraft (Cmd+Shift+E, also on the photo
context menu) renders a copy with the edits as a flat 16-bit PSD, which
PhotoCraft saves back to in place, stacks it on the original and opens
it in PhotoCraft, found where its installers put it. Edit in Other
Editor (Cmd+Alt+E) keeps the configured program. Per-editor format,
colour space and bit depth in Settings > External Editing. Export gains
a flat PSD format.

Compare and Reference drew each pane from a whole-frame render of at most
2560 px, so 1:1 was a magnified preview and focus could not be checked.
Each pane now also renders the window on screen from the photo's own
pixels (Slot::CompareRegion), as the loupe does (#323). The media cache
keeps up to two full-size originals while either view is open, so one
pane's window does not evict the other's source.
Docs: gaps.md entry 4 shrinks to overlays and soft proofing; checklist
LR-VIEW-ZOOM / LR-VIEW-COMPARE and ui-parity zoom row updated.
