+To snapshot the current state of the working
+colour curves (those that are not applied yet)
+you can use the function @code{store}. It is
+parameterless and returns a 3-tuple of the
+colour curves. To reset the to curves stored
+by @code{store} you can use the function
+@code{restore}:
+
+@example
+stored = store()
+# To stuff ...
+restore(stored)
+@end example
+
+You can also make a function of the stored
+settings. A function like this will apply the
+adjustments on top of current adjustments.
+To do this input the output of @code{store}
+into the function @code{functionise}:
+
+@example
+brightness(0.75)
+stored = functionise(store())
+stored()
+stored()
+# Now the brightness is 0,75 to the power of 3 = 0,421875.

+Note that the @code{functionise(stored)()}
+might be heavier than applying the adjustments
