[Design] Re: [Cosmo] 'Bare minimum' proposal for Casual Collaborator Cosmo UI - Preview

[Matthew Eernisse]

Pretty much every use of the Cancel button I can think of is on some 
kind of dialog box -- and clicking it dismisses the box. ('Cancel' seems 
to mean "Stop this new process I'm engaged in, and go back to whatever 
original context I was in before.") Maybe I'm over-analyzing, but using 
it without being in a new context seems a little strange to me.

Does it not make sense to consider calling it 'Revert' or something? 
Doesn't Photoshop have a button in some of the dialog boxes that revert 
everything to the previous state? What is that button called?

Just my two shekels. :)
