How to Undo Picasa

How to Undo Picasa thumbnail
To revert an action in Picasa, use the program's Undo function.

When you work with your photos with Picasa, Google's free photo management application, you might make a change to an image, and then realize you don't like the change and want to undo the action. For example, you might have cropped a photo, adjusted the contrast or applied a special effects filter that you now want to reverse. Picasa automatically creates a new copy of your photo when you edit it, and keeps the original file intact on your computer, so you can undo a save, as well as revert your image after multiple edits to how the image appeared originally.
