ABSTRACT
The History feature was first introduced in Photoshop 5.0 and back then was considered a real breakthrough feature. This was because, for the first time, Photoshop was able to offer multiple undos during a single Photoshop editing session. History can play a really important role in the way you use Photoshop, so I thought this would be the best place to describe this feature in more detail and explain how history can help you use Photoshop more efficiently. As you work on an image, Photoshop is able to record a history of the various image states as steps and these can be viewed in the History panel (Figure 1.85). If you want to reverse a step, you can always use the conventional Edit ➯ Undo command (Cz [Mac], Lz [PC]), but if you use the History panel, you can go back as many stages in the edit process as you have saved history steps.
