Oops, OK. Then I think that this is not too simple, for it depends on 
the object.

before I go on and on (and make a bigger ass of myself ;-) ) is this 
what you mean:

If I draw a spiral using a dialog and now a want to change the number 
of twists, I chang the params on a dialog and hit an "apply" button.
What would be the alternative? Other than an on canvas drag node to 
modify type deal.

"When you are applying an effect, 
you can choose to update the image after every parameter change (autoupdate)"

I don't understand.It is clear I am not getting something...
