With the current document active, click on the snapshot icon (it looks like a camera) at the bottom of the Layers panel. e snapshot is saved in a list at the top of the panel. If you reach a state in the editing process and are dissatisfied with what you've done, click on a snapshot to revert back and continue editing from that point on. You can collect multiple snap- shots of key points in the workflow or even multiple versions of the image. (Fig. 6). Another way to save a snapshot is to click the History panel menu and choose New Snapshot. e dialog box that appears enables you to name the snapshot and determine which combination of layers the snapshot will be made from. Here are the choices: • Full Document makes a snapshot of all the visible layers and the Background. • Merged Layers makes a snapshot of all the layers and merges them into one layer. • Current Layer makes a snapshot of the currently targeted layer. Documents Any history state or snapshot can be saved as a document. Select the desired snapshot or state in the History panel and click the new document icon. e image appears as a new document with a snap- shot and new history. Don't forget to save the new document.
