Re: [Digital BW] Digital file exchange

Hi Mark,
   I knew you could save a 'history log' on your desktop (as text 
file), but my understanding was it wasn't attached to the file 
itself, it's just a running log kept on your desktop. I tried to make 
it work the way you instructed. I turned it on (metadata), created a 
new project, saved it and when I reopened it and went into file 
info>history, the only info it gave me was the date and that I had 
saved it in PSD form, not each action that I did on the file 
(gradient, painting new layer etc). What am I doing wrong?
