Is there a History panel in Illustrator as there is in Photoshop?

Hi...
I was wondering whether there is a panel in Illustrator similar to the History Panel in Photoshop that records actions performed on a document?
Thanks!

No, there's nothing like that in Illustrator. Illustrator just has normal undo/redo functionality. There's a suite dealing with Undo but it doesn't tell you anything about what happened during a particular transaction.

  • Is There a History Panel in Encore?

    Hello,
    I'm making several beginner mistakes in Encore, which is to be expected.
    Is there a History panel in Encore like there is in Premiere Pro and Photoshop?  That would be so helpful.
    I can't seem to find it.  All I see is a history option in the pull down menu, but I like having it all in its own panel.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!
    Matt

    Matt,
    Unless it was recently added, no.
    I would guess that because En is just an abstraction layer for the Sonic AuthorCore modules, that there is not that capability in the AuthorCore, but could be wrong.
    It WOULD be nice to have such. It has saved my bacon in PrPro and PS, many times. Feature Request.
    Good luck,

  • Is there a contract function in illustrator the same as in Photoshop?

    I need to make a base layer for printing onto transfer paper for a white base colour which needs to be 6 pixels smaller. I know this can be done easily in photoshop but can you in illustrator? If I change the size or scale it moved the placement and does not work the same as contracting... Any thoughts would be useful for a newbie...

    Hi Everyone, thanks for your help. I have been trying that Offset Path with a minus value. However it seems to make the paths come out of shape and distorted... Sometime even with a minus value makes them larger.. Am I missing something...? Apart from an obvious lack of knowledge...

  • Where is the History/Undo panel in Illustrator CC?

    Please let me know where the History/Undo panel is in Illustrator. I can't find it.
    I'd rather not click undo 143 times.
    Thanks,

    There ought to be an Undo panel in Illustrator.
    Let's call it something else: the Step Back Panel.
    If you can click undo a hundred times, then you should be able to do a large number of undos at once.

  • Does CS5 enable the history panel in code view?

    I saw an old thread from last year (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1038491#1038491) where people confirmed that the history panel is only enabled in "design view", and is disabled in "code view". I'm wondering whether that feature has been changed in CS5. Does anybody know?
    The reason I'm wondering is I'm trying to create keyboard shortcuts to quickly comment code (either /* */, or //) and remove comments. I know there's a button available on the toolbar that will add a /* */ comment, so getting a keyboard shortcut for that isn't such a big deal, but I'd really like a way to remove comments that's faster than right-clicking on a text selection to bring up the context menu, go down to "Selection >", and click on "Remove Comment". From what I've read, it seems like the best way to make a keyboard shortcut for that would be to select some text and do "Remove Comment" through the context menu, then create a macro/command using the history panel, and finally assign a keyboard shortcut to that command. However, this doesn't seem possible since for me the history panel is disabled when I'm in code view (in Dreamweaver 8).
    If anyone has a better solution to my real question, of how to create a keyboard shortcut to remove comments from code, I'd be very grateful to hear it!

    Wow, I didn't even realize that button to remove coding was there. I was looking at the /* */ button on the PHP tab of the Insert toolbar, and trying to find another button there that would remove comments, and didn't realize there already was one on the coding toolbar. That's perfect, thanks a lot! And thank you also for the info on the CS5 history panel.

  • How many steps can be recorded in the History panel?

    In Photoshop, 20 steps can be recorded in the Histroy panel with the defult setting, and we can change the setting to record more or less steps by choosing "Edit> Preference".
    In Lightroom, how many steps can be recorded in the History panel with the defult setting? And how can we change the number of step to be recorded?

    I guess since the history is kept in the database (and not only in memory as with PS), there is not so much an issue in limiting them.

  • User presets from history panel

    Hi there
    I lost my hard drive and have reinstalled LR4 and relocated files to the external hard drive. I can see the user presets I used in the history panel but not in the User presets menu, is there any way to 'find' these to use again. I have looked but cannot find my User Presets anywhere.
    Thanks
    Nat

    Thank you, that was the problem.  They were checked as stored with catalog in LR5, but not in LR6.  Once I clicked the checkbox in LR6, I found all my export user presets.  Now I assume that if I subsequently uncheck that box, LR6 will create a unique file to house those presets?  Does it matter if they are or are not in the catalog?  I've got a decent grasp of LR's functionality, but wasn't aware of this and don't know if there are pluses or minuses with either approach...

    when i Add a anchor point, without converting it?
    i like to be automatic just like in photoshop pentool.

    1. Path with straight segment selected.
    2. PenTool: click the segment to add the anchorPoint. If the straight segment has no handles extended, the added anchorPoint will be a corner point. The added anchorPoint is selected.
    3. Click the Convert To Smooth button in the Control Panel. The anchorPoint is converted to Smooth and its handles are auto-extended.
    OR
    3. Press Alt to invoke the convert tool. ClickDrag the just-added AnchorPoint to drag out both its handles to the length desired. If SmartGuides is on, the handles will snap to the segment.
    If a segment is straight and has no extended handles, clicking the segment with the Pen tool adds a corner AnchorPoint with no handles extended.
    If a segment is straight and has either of its handles extended, clicking the segment with the Pen tool adds a Smooth AnchorPoint with both handles extended.

  • While in Illustrator cc, when I place a tiff there is no preview in Illustrator, what am I missing,

    While in Illustrator cc, when I place a tiff there is no preview in Illustrator, what am I missing,

    in CS5 or later--it's in the preferences panel
    if it's already set like above--just resave (is the problem you're having happen with ALL tiffs? or just one?).

  • Aperture 3 - is there a history window?

    I added some changes with the Dodge tool but wanted to remove it from a specific area. Is there a history tool like in Photoshop when I can backtrack my steps? (The undo command won't work as I need some of my adjustments).

    No
    Just brush away the Dodge tool where you don't want it: Click on the eraser in the dodge HUD or hold the option key while brushing.
    the History panel would be less flexible for this task.

    Also click on the cog in the Dodge HUD and choose color overlay to see exactly where your stokes are.

  • I want to expand the size of the history panel

    I just upgraded to v. 34 from v. 17.0.1. In the old version, I could open History as a full panel, and see the sites and dates in chronological order. Now, although I have the "View > By date and site" option selected, I see only the sites. Also, when I try to expand the size of the History panel by pausing the cursor over the edge, the double-arrow icon does nothing.

    There is a minimum (min-width: 14em;) and maximum (max-width: 36em;) for the sidebar and you can't drag the resizer icon beyond that limit.
    Add code to the <b>userChrome.css</b> file below the default @namespace line.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
    <pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
    #sidebar { min-width:0px !important; max-width:none !important; }
    </nowiki></pre>
    The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the <b>chrome</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder.

    *Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
    *Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userChrome.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
    *Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window
    *Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
    *Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css.<br>Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userChrome.css.txt file

  • How to remove "Blue filter" from multiple images in the History Panel

    I am using Lightroom 4.3 on Windows 7 pc.  I have a collection with approximately 650 images.  I was working in the collection and had all the images selected.  Somehow I inadvertently must have hit a keyboard shortcut that effected all the images.  All of the images are negatively effected and they now look terrible.  When I go to the History Panel, all the images have "blue filter" as their most recent entry.  If I select one image and go back to the step before the "blue filter" everything looks fine  again.  My problem is I have this effect in 650 images.  When I try and do the change in one image and then synch to the rest, I don't know what box to check to remove this "blue filter" that has been added to all the images.  I know I can do them one by one, but with 650 images, it's a long and tedious process.  Any way I can remove the "blue filter" from multiple images in a collection?
    Thanks,
    Matthew Kraus

    If you’ve just done it, then an Undo operation would reverse things on all the images, I think.  But if it took you a while to see the problem, then you might have done something to cancel the undoability.
    Isn’t Blue Filter a built in LR preset that modifies the HSL settings:  http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/924/cpsid_92473.html
    Open the HSL panel and step back into History on one of the affected images so the effect of the Blue Filter preset has been undone and notice what HSL sliders change, and then if the 650 images DON’T already have any HSL adjustments you should be able to sync JUST the pre-Blue-Filter HSL adjustments (perhaps all zeros) to the other 650 images.

    houseofrest,
    According to this page, you can use it for CC:

    Or you can buy CS6:

  • Unable to launch File sync and to update Adobe Exchange panel in Illustrator CC 2014

    I suppose that these two problems might be related, as I need the file sync to sync the extensions?
    Anyway, I’m unable to launch a file sync, and when I update the Adobe Exchange panel in Illustrator, it asks for a reboot, and after the reboot, it asks again for an update…
    Thanks for the help!

    I've since received information of a workaround - listed in a different thread: Unable to install non-standard updates - Cannot launch/update Adobe Digital Publishing for InDesign CC 2014
    Try the following to enable updates:
    1) Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\AAMUpdaterInventory\1.0 and you will find a .dat file ( AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat).
    2) Please open the file in question and you will find a line item : <Suppressed>1</Suppressed> .
    3) Please change the Value from 1 to 0 and save the file back in the same location.
    On a Mac, essentially the same, however location: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterInventory/1.0/AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat
    I was given further advice that DPS toolkit updates are not available when you create the deployment package from Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition on Mac OS. (I believe this may be the same using Creative Cloud Packager as you've found)
    Deployment DPS Toolkit Update| AAMEE |Mac OS
    The above article suggests that you can download and install the DPS update silently, however, an end user must be logged into computer - not really feasible for enterprise environments.
    So I guess the process for this would be:
    1)Copy the contents of the DPS update package to remote machine
    2)Enable updates by modifying the AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat file
    3)Remotely launch the DPS update silently (when someone is logged onto machine)
    4)Disable updates again when complete...

  • Do the History Panel or Command menu record items work in code view?

    I am using Dreamweaver CS6 version 12 on a 2.33 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo iMac running OS X 10.6.8.
    When I attempt to use the History Panel or the Command menu items "Start Recordings" or "Play Recorded Commands" in code view they do not work. Can these tools be used in code view?

    Well, I found Dreamweaver for Windows and Dreamweaver CC (which I assume is Creative Cloud) but I didn't find a Dreamweaver for Mac forum. The other two just didn't seem to be appropriate.
    I find the forums difficult to navigate.
