Join Julieanne Kost for an in-depth discussion in this video Multiple Undo and the History panel, part of Photoshop CC 2018 Essential Training: The Basics.
- [Instructor] One of the most important features…in Photoshop is the ability to undo whatever you just did,…because just knowing that nothing that you do is permanent…allows you to experiment and play in Photoshop.…For example, if I select the image menu…and then choose image rotation…and flip this canvas horizontally,…I know that I can undo that by choosing the edit menu…and selecting undo flip canvas horizontal.…Or I could use the keyboard shortcut command Z…in order to undo this.…We also have a history panel over on the right side.…
If I click on the panel's icon view,…it will go ahead and expand it.…Every time we select a command in Photoshop,…it will appear in the history panel.…Now the history panel, by default,…will keep track of 50 things that you do…before it starts discarding the oldest action.…If you want, you can change that…by going under the Photoshop menu to preferences,…and then performance.…You can see here is the number of history states…that Photoshop will retain by default.…Let's walk through a few different edits to this image.…
