My original solution was to make all the edits to a photo and then use iPhoto Diet to replace the original with the modified photo. Now after cropping, a revert to original retains the edits but removes the crop.
My new solution is using the sharing feature with fast user switching (FUS). I create an album in my account for that particular project, and add the photos. I enable sharing for that album. I then FUS to a user account set up just for photo projects. I can then create an album and drop the photos from the shared album into a new album, which creates a copy of the photo. I can now crop to match the project without affecting the main photo library. I can then delete the album and photos from the project library when finished to free up the space.
If I want to keep photo projects long term, I could use iPhoto Buddy to create a separate library for each project on the secondary user. Then just switch between them depending on what I need to work on at the moment. I could also archive the library for each project separately.
