Undo history in PSE6

I've just upgraded from PSE2 to PSE6 and I can't find the Undo History. Is there somewhere in the preferences that I have to set up the number of levels that I want to keep? Any suggestions?

  • Undo History box (question)

    In PSE9 on my MAC I tick the undo history to show it down the right and when I shut PSE9 it stays on teh desktop and I need to tick it every time I open PSE. I'd just like to tick and have it there always... oh and not get it left behind on my destop.

    I've done it ! I have effects / content showing, followed by Layers/undo history and finally adjustments. I'd not come out of the box to think laterally! It was a simeple case of reducing the size of teh layers box to allow Undo to fit properly. By resizing the boxes Elements now opens and closes exactly as it used to. Phew. Thank you everyone.

  • Undo History

    In AA 1.5 in the Edit view when the mouse was hovered over the Undo/Redo buttons a pop up told you what you were about to undo. Please can we at least have th.is function back. Even better would be a full undo history for both Multitrak and Edit views so that you could instantly select a stage to go back to.

    ...and is there any way it could look like Photoshop, a nice layers pallette and floating toolbars and...and...and.... In fact, could you not just get Photoshop to write the music :D

  • Undo history will be lost message

    Whenever I make a change to any file in a book, when I save the changed file I get the message "Cannot be undone. Undo history will be lost. OK to continue?" I an unable to find the setting that will make this message go away. Can anyone help?

    Someone has already answered this question, but all my efforts to retrieve it through Forum Search have drawn a blank! I'm pretty sure there's a setting in the .ini file, but wouldn't like to guess any farther.

  • In Elements 8, is there a way to save the undo history?

    Often times, I cannot evaluate how a filter etc,  will effect a picture until after it is printed out.  If I close the file, the undo history is wiped out.  Is there a way to export the undo list to a text file or something similar so that I can review it afterwards.  Right now, I used a pen and paper to record each change but sometimes I get sloppy.  Thanks in advance.

    No, unfortunately the ability to save history as a text file is only in full photoshop. Some people take a screenshot of the undo history palette, but of course that only gives the steps you took, not the settings for each one.

  • Hello. I have a silly problem. When I tick on the navigator, the layer, the undo history and the histogram they don't show up in Elements 10. Of course it was there but just now they are disappeared. I work on a Mac

    Quit the editor, then restart it while holding down cmd+shift+option. Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

  • Layer selection not tied to undo history when Effects panel is open.

    Has anyone else noticed a strange behaviour with undo history when the Effects Panel is open?
    Try this:
    1. Have the layers, history and effects panel all visible at the same time.
    2. open an image
    3. duplicate the layer
    4. make a new blank layer
    5. grab the brush tool and paint two brush strokes on the new blank layer
    6. go back to the duplicated layer below the blank layer and paint two brush strokes
    7. in the history panel go back in the history states and watch the layers panel
    Now close the effects panel
    1. in the history panel select the last history state
    2. go back in the history states
    Notice a difference?

    I see the behavior and I'll log a bug report for it. Very strange, but good catch that it's the Effects panel that is the source!
    27Prac, make sure the Effects panel is up, that is key. But I tested on both Windows and Mac and see it on each.

  • Undo history in Logic 7.2

    There seems to be no undo history in Logic 7.2 when working with midi instruments: I can only undo one action and that's it.
    Or is undo history restricted to audio?

    I experimented a little and this is what I found out:
    I do have 15 steps of undo, as that is what I indicated in the preferences.
    I only see the last edit action in the edit menu between file and audio. When undoing the last action I can undo the previous one.
    But there's no such thing as a list. Could it be that this is limited to Logic Pro, although it is being discussed in the manual?

  • InDesign's Save As resets the Undos history

    I was wondering why InDesign was developed so that it erases history on Save As. What is the logic here?

    Photoshop and Illustrator are not InDesign.
    I don't know about Illustrator, but Photshop can actually only "undo" a single step. Everything else is handled through the History panel, and is limited to the number of steps you choose to save in the prefs, plus any snapshots (snapshots would be useful in ID, too, but that's a different discussion). I'd never noticed that you could step back through a save as. ID will undo right back to the state when the file was last opened or the last Save As, whichever is more recent, regardless of the number of steps that might be.

  • I don't understand undo.History

    My expectation for app.undoHistory was that anything I can undo in the UI is listed in that array.
    This does not seem to be the case.
    In my current tests the only way I find to get
    b anything
    into that array is the script "FindChangeByList.jsx". No action and no script of mine add anything undoable, it seems.
    That makes me suspect that I lack some elementary piece of understanding...
    What gives?
    Thank you
    Gerald

    Thank you Shane,
    thinks: I see my second post before Shane's answer although it was written later. Weird.
    For those interested, this seems to work rather nicely:
    var anUndoStack = app.activeDocument.undoHistory;
    anUndoStack.splice(40);
    var anUndoName = app.activeDocument.undoName;
    var myDialog = app.dialogs.add({name:"An Seite ausrichten"});
    with(myDialog.dialogColumns.add()){
    var myUndoDropdown = dropdowns.add({stringList:anUndoStack, selectedIndex:0});
    var myResult = myDialog.show();
    if(myResult == true){
    var mySteps = myUndoDropdown.selectedIndex;
    myDialog.destroy();
    for (n= 0; n<mySteps;n++) { app.activeDocument.undo(); }
    } else{
    myDialog.destroy();

  • How to view exif info in right column together with histogram, undo history, info etc.?

    Photoshop Elements 8
    I am enclosing a screendump from Picasa 3 which illustrates what I am looking for.

    If you want to see that kind of data in the pse editor,
    Go to File>File Info>Camera Data.
    If you have a camera raw file and open it from the pse editor,
    you can see this data in the camera raw plugin dialog in
    the upper right corner.
    Elements won't display exif data in the info panel.

  • Compositing text modifications with font size modifications for undo

    Hey TLF gurus,
    So here's my situation.  I have a text flow.  The user starts typing "The lazy brown dog..." and after each character is typed I'm modifying the font size of all the text to make it fit inside the container.  Here's how I'm doing that: http://aaronhardy.com/flex/size-text-to-container/ (you can right-click the app to see the source).
    That all works well, but undo isn't working so well.  When I hit undo, I would like it to remove the text.  But when I call undo on the undo manager, it gets to EditManager.performUndo() where it checks to see if operation.endGeneration is different than textFlow.generation.  In my case, they aren't the same because I updated the font size after the last keystroke.  Because they're different, the undo fails.  Because I updated the font size after the last text insert, TextFlow.processModelChanged() was called and increased the text flow's generation while the insert text operation's end generation stayed the same.
    Ultimately I think I want to create a composite operation that contains any text modifications with their following text auto-sizing.  Either that or I want to prevent my font auto-sizing operation from affecting the text flow generation.  Either way, I'm not sure how to go about pulling it off.  I'm sure I can make some sweet hacks but I'd really appreciate some guidance.  Thanks.
    Aaron

    I'm able to successfully merge the sizing operations with the text operations.  I did it in a round-about way but afterward I found a more appropriate way: executing the ApplyFormatOperation by calling back into EditManager.doOperation when the FlowOperationEvent.FLOW_OPERATION_END event is dispatched from TextFlow (essentially making it recursive).  This way the EditManager will composite the operations.  This is described pretty well in the code and documentation of EditManager.doInternal().  I didn't test it, however.
    Instead, for a couple reasons I decided not to go with that plan at all but instead went with my Plan B which was to prevent my font auto-sizing operation from affecting the text flow generation.  I essentially want the auto-sizing to occur without it going into the undo history, modifying the text flow generation, etc., etc.  I want it to go incognito.  The way I did this was to store the text flow's generation, make the font size modifications, then set the text flow's generation back to what it was before the font size was applied.  This may have some negative repercussions but for now I think it's the best approach for my needs.
    Thanks for letting me talk to myself!  Feel free to add ideas.

  • PSE9 - How to undo Effect without undoing other actions

    I've been wondering this for a while, but keep forgetting to post - Sometimes when creating a project, I'll add an "effect," such as a drop shadow, to a layer, but later decide to change it. 
    How do I undo that effect without undoing all the other actions that i have applied between when I initially applied the drop shadow, and when I decide to change it?
    Is there a way to choose "no effect" in the Effects?  If not, it would be helpful to have that option in this case.
    Thanks for any help!

    Well, a layer style is not an effect. If you really mean layer styles (like the drop shadow you mentioned), just go to Layer>Layer Style>Clear Layer Style. That works any time, even after you've saved and closed the file.
    Actual effects are actions, and you can only back out of those with the undo commands/undo history. Once you pass the number of history states you're saving, or once you close the image, that's it. No going back.

  • Undo list is saying stupid things

    I'm working on some rather large files imported from a ProTools aaf (originally from an Avid omf) and every time I try and undo any audio edits it takes hours (spinning beachball of death territory). Undoing automation is a little sluggish, but not as bad.
    The most worrying thing is that The Undo List seems to be talking rubbish - the list doesn't refer to the edit steps that I have just taken - it seems that they are from several steps before - however, if I undo, it, at least, still undoes the last edit that I have performed rather than the one that it says (but like I say, it's painfully slow).
    The Undo History, however, seems to say the correct edits, but stepping back through this is even slower!! I have tried deleting this History, but it hasn't made the blindest bit of difference.
    I don't seem to have these problems with any other (smaller) files - could it be a memory issue?
    Cheers

    Thanks again, but I don't think you've quite understood the necessity for handles on the audio files Ray: these are extra portions of sound at either end of the audio files, which you don't get if you consolidate all the audio into one file.
    I'm editing dialogue for TV/Film and each individual take/slate has it's own little clip of audio associated with it. They are all at different levels and with differing tones and background noise. I need those extra bits of sound so I can have the flexibility of extending the clips until the next bit of dialogue comes in, creating crossfades between sections, or for things such as finding a blank bit of audio to insert in a gap or for use as a template for noise reduction... I am also correcting rough audio editing done by the film editor, and in some cases, this means that some words are missing or have been truncated.
    If the audio was all merged into one file, these sections would be impossible to fix and tidying up the rest would become much more difficult and less effective.
    If you're talking about exporting each file individually, then that's a huge task - each half hour episode of the series I'm working on at present has between 1200 and 1300 files!! I think I'd rather put up with having to wait a while for some undos to happen than have to do that!
    I really wish that I didn't have to worry about this sort of thing, and I second the opinion of several other contributors that I have read, who feel that recently the quality and reliability of Apple hardware and software has gone downhill...
    In the meantime, I'm having to retrain myself to manually redo any edits that I have made rather than reaching for +command z+... it's getting there...

  • CS5 "Undo" keyboard command doesn't work...

    ..after I enter a custom size in a document window, still continues. If I use "built in" size views w/ command + or -, everything is fine. As soon as I type in 52% or something in the window, command +z for "undo" does not respond. Only the redo/undo history pref's on the wheel on my wacom intuos4 functions for undo. It's not a random occurrence, but reliably repeatable on my system. Or is it only me?
    This is kind of pain in the arse for my work flow... would like to troubleshoot, and get this solved. The offered up adobe temp app/script thingy(?) for 10.6.4 or .5(?) doesn't help. Thanks!
    OS 10.6.6.  PS CS5 12.0.2

    Thank goodness someone else has finally posted the exact problem I'm  having. Not because I'm glad you're suffering Tim, but only because it  lets me know I'm not alone!  I've searched the net high and low for  months looking for someone even having the same issue, let alone someone  posting a fix.
    The Undo function stops working for me from both in the  drop down Edit menu and the keyboard shortcut as soon as I type in a  custom zoom value for the document view.  This interrupts my workflow to  the point where I'm not even using PS CS5 until this problem is fixed.   I'm using the entire CS5 suite + PS CS4.
    Can anyone help?
