Hi.
The following issue has been bothering me for a while in photoshop. When you create a new file or open an existing file, the first operation in the history palette is either "New" or "Open". I understand why it makes sense you can’t undo that first step. However, when I’ve been using the brushtool many times and find that the ‘step backward’ function is unable to revert back to the original state, I click the snapshot of the original state in the history palette. Now when I use the brush tool 3 times for instance, I can only undo the last 2 modifications and the only way to undo the first brush stroke is to blend in the history palette and click the snapshot of the original state and this seems cumbersome. The best solution I’ve found for this issue so far is to use the Revert command after I’ve clicked the snapshot of the original state. Once I’ve done that, I can undo any subsequent modifications with the brushtool by stepping backward. Still, it seems kind of cumbersome and I was wondering if anyone knows why it isn’t possible to undo the first step in the history palette?
In fact, it gets even more strange. When I click the snapshot of the original state and use the brushtool once, I’m able to undo that modification (although only with the <Ctrl>-Z command and not with the <Alt><Ctrl>-Z command). However, when I use the brushtool twice (or more often), I’m only able to undo all modifications except the first one.
The logic of that behavior of photoshop completely baffles me. I’d expect <Alt><Ctrl>-Z to work in any situation where I can use <Ctrl>-Z and it does EXCEPT for the first modification after you click a snapshot.
Thanks in advance for any feedback on this, kind regards, Niek
