OT..HELP!!

OT..HELP!!

2005-03-19 by Tim Timmermans

Sorry gang but I'm desperate. Quick photoshop question.

Somehow my history window is limiting the number of actions it will
register to 20 or so. Isn't there a quick way to set it to 99 or
something? I just can't figure out how to do it and I'm in the middle
of something important. 

Anyone know how to reset this and perhaps explain why it changed in
the first place?

Thanks,

Tim

Tim

Off the top of my head - quick - the box for setting the number of history 
steps is on the first page of PS prefs. Default value is 20. I usually use 
50.

Try Edit/Preferences/General and then change the number of History 
States.  Another suggestion is to do whatever you are doing on a 
layer so that if it doesn't work out, just trash the layer and start 
over.  You might possibly have run into a memory problem.  Good luck.

Thanks Steve!! You made my day.

It was at 99 before. How did it get back to 20 in the first place?

Every now and then, for no apparent reason, PhotoShop resets a bunch of your preferences. Last week, it reset my grids to metric...

Move to quarantaine
