When working with images in Photoshop, you may need to undo the previous step and return to the original image. To return to the previous result, you need to perform several actions.
Necessary
- - computer;
- - any version of the Photoshop program.
Instructions
Step 1
Working with images is an exciting activity that requires certain knowledge and skills from the photographer. But even an experienced Photoshop user often faces situations when, in the course of working on a new masterpiece, you need to go back a few steps.
Step 2
You can make changes to the processed photo at any stage of editing. True, before starting work, you naturally need to open an image. To do this, it is enough to simultaneously press the keyboard keys Alt + Shift + Ctr + O or in the "File" menu, which is on the working panel, select the "Open as" option, and then specify the location of the image and its format.
Step 3
Next, proceed to direct processing. And if you need to make changes and go back, look at the "Editing" section on the work panel. Here you can perform the necessary operations by selecting the appropriate option: "Undo", "Step back" and "Step back".
Step 4
For convenience, you can use the "hot keys": Ctrl + Z - to undo the last action, Shift + Ctrl + Z - to take a step forward and Alt + Ctrl + Z - to take a step back.
Step 5
You can also view the entire history of image changes in Photoshop by selecting the appropriate operation in the Window menu of the top panel. Check the box "History" in this section, and a table will appear in the working window, showing all the actions performed with the picture.
Step 6
To cancel the changes made at any stage of image processing, it is enough to find the required operation on the "History" screen and return to it by clicking on it with the left mouse button. In this case, you will find yourself exactly at the editing step that you indicate.
Step 7
If you need to save all the previously performed actions in the photo, keep the draft image for yourself. After all, you may still need it. And in order not to get confused in the pictures, when saving, come up with a name for it, by which you can easily navigate in all your photos, finished and still in the processing stage.
