Undo and History - Images: Japanese
Hey everyone!
Next, let's look at undoing work and using the 'History' feature.
Photoshop records your actions up to a certain point, letting you step backward or forward in your editing history. It's a very handy feature — definitely worth getting familiar with.
First, go to 'Window' in the menu bar at the top and look for 'History'. Checking it should make the following icon appear somewhere on the right side of the screen:
Click it to open the History panel. It should look like this:
This is the History panel, where you can step backward and forward through your actions. Try making a few edits to your image — you'll see the history list grow with each one.
Click any entry in the list to jump back to that point in your editing history. That's the History feature. It's quite powerful — worth making full use of it.
You can also step forward and backward one action at a time using the 'Edit' menu at the top. Look near the top of the 'Edit' menu — you should see 'Step Forward' and 'Step Backward'. Clicking those moves through your history one step at a time.
At the very top of the 'Edit' menu, there's also 'Undo' or 'Undo [action name]'. This steps back one action, and clicking it again steps forward — so it alternates between undo and redo.
Keyboard shortcuts are available for all of these. The shortcut for 'Undo' is 'Ctrl' + 'Z' on Windows or 'command' + 'Z' on macOS. To keep stepping backward, use 'Ctrl' + 'Alt' + 'Z' on Windows or 'command' + 'option' + 'Z' on macOS. And to keep stepping forward, use 'Ctrl' + 'Shift' + 'Z' on Windows or 'command' + 'Shift' + 'Z' on macOS.
In most text editors, 'Ctrl' + 'Z' / 'command' + 'Z' keeps undoing indefinitely, so Photoshop's slightly different shortcuts can take some getting used to. Hang in there.
You can control how many history states Photoshop records by going to 'Preferences' > 'Performance' > 'History States'. Setting it to around '100' works well for most situations.
You can set it as high as '1000', but if your PC doesn't have enough processing power, performance can suffer. If you're going to use a large value, keep an eye on how Photoshop is running and adjust accordingly.
That's it for this one. In the next article, we'll try using the Bounding Box. Keep it up — see you there!
