DBE is very useful tool for flattening an image, and removing gradients. Its hardly ever a single execution. In severe cases its very often that running DBE > 5 - 10 times on a single image. Even more so its also can be very much a trial and error process, in trying to create a model that removes the graidents and preseves details.
So after running DBE several times, and then undoing those changes to revert the image back to its initial state it seems useful that you could execute the DBE Model N times, it may even make sense to execute the model N times where N produces some diminshed returns. This would be where continuing to execute DBE no longer produces a meaningful change to the image.
To try and summarise,
1. Include a cycle to a DBE model, where DBE will execute the model N times and/or allow a model to be executed until any continued executions no longer produce any meaningful change.
2. This allows for a much easier and even more automated workflow
3. Allows an easier iteration of the DBE model, which allows you to undo one change versus multiple changes and cycling through swap files. Which when making very large mosaics can be difficult and computational intense process.
