Reverting to any state of the
image
The History palette lets you jump to any recent
state of the image created during the current
working session. Each time you apply a change to
an image, the new state of that image is added to
the palette.
For example, if you select, paint, and rotate part of
an image, each of those states is listed separately in
the palette. You can then select any of these states,
and the image will revert to how it looked when
that change was first applied. You can then work
from that state.
The following guidelines can help you with the
History palette:
Program-wide changes, such as changes to
•
palettes, color settings, actions, and preferences,
are not changes to a particular image and so are
not added to the History palette.
By default, the History palette lists the previous
•
20 states. Older states are automatically deleted to
free more memory for Photoshop. To keep a
particular state throughout your work session,
make a snapshot of the state.
For more information on making snapshots, see
"Making a snapshot of the image" on page 171.
Once you close and reopen the document, all
•
states and snapshots from the last working session
are cleared from the palette.
By default, a snapshot of the initial state of the
•
document is displayed at the top of the palette.
States are added from the top down. That is, the
•
oldest state is at the top of the list, the most recent
one at the bottom.
Each state is listed with the name of the tool or
•
command used to change the image.
