Photoshop Tutorial: Undo & Redo Options

Video Transcript

"Now we are going to study our undo and redo actions under our edit menu bar and our tool bar. If we look up here, or in our menu bar, I'm sorry. If we look up here in our photo shop we can see our menu bar. Here we have edit and then we have our menus or our options here to undo to step forward or to step backwards. And as you can see it's like we have can't undo right here because I have no actions in my history. If you look down here at my history the only thing that I have done is open this photo. So, let's do something here so we can actually use this. Once we hit our brush tool let's increase our brush size a bit and let's just paint a big black mark scribbled over the top of it. So if I want to undo this I just come here and hit edit and undo brush tool which will you know undo this for me and take me back to the previous step. The funny thing with 'undo' is that it will only undo one action. So, if you paint one big black line - let's paint another big black line and let's paint a white line. Well, if we come up here and hit edit, undo brush tool, it'll undo only the last line that we have done because if we do it again, it will 'redo' it. This is kind of the only option that we have. If you want to keep going backwards, you have to hit 'step backwards'. This will take you back through your history all the way down - as you can see it has stepped backwards all the way down to the first option I have in my history which is open the photo. So, there you have it. Those are your edit options or undo options in your edit drop down menu or your edit drop down file in your menu bar. Just have fun with it , play around with it and enjoy."
