Undo one operation in the middle of history?

Is it possible to delete one operation in the middle of history without losing the subsequent changes?

E.g. after I cropped a picture, I added some adjustment layers. Now, I want to save the file without the crop but with the adjustment layers. Possible?

CS2, windowsXP

One possibility would be to save the file then undo to before the crop then open the saved file and drag the layers across.
Good luck,

there is an option to have history in unordered mode
use the triangle to fly out
then you can delete single states without losing the below steps

As long as the information is still in the history, YES you can go back to save the specific frame you wish then go back to the last part.

Also, you may want to give it a test drive as I am pretty sure that's how it works, *but* I also read or seen some part of history get wiped out after the SAVE command. I saw it happened several times on older Photoshop and I haven't run into the similar on CS2 and haven't had much time to play with CS3 to know much about CS3

Also, if you are working on some important change and you think you may want to go back to the older step's, then I would suggest you to learn to use the SNAP-SHOT option. I don't use Snap-Shot often but couple times to give me a piece of mind to try new thing.

That is a common misunderstanding. Yes, you can set 'non-linear' history in the history preferences. Yes, that means that you can delete steps from the history panel without loosing the next steps in the panel. Unfortunately, that deletes only the steps in the history palette, though. But it does not delete the action itself.

Quite correct. I found that out the hard way.
