Rodd ..
Why not duplicate your image before you start … that should give you a before image to view.
Hope you get your caps lock fixed soon 🙂

Rodd,
Another way: I leave the original (background) layer untouched and make changes to various copies. That way at any time by turning visibility on and off I can see the effect of any change to the original or to any stage in between.

Bob,
What a good idea … I didn’t think of doing that 🙂
Wendy
Thanks to Wendy and Bob,
Both responses made me think "Duh … why didn’t I think of that?"

Wendy and Rodd,
It all started when I didn’t know how to turn a background layer into a transparent one and had no idea what an adjustment layer was and I just keep doing it. 🙂 And only having a 17" monitor it saves workspace.
Bob
Bob,
I think that it is a really great way of doing it. 🙂

Wendy,
Inexperience pays off occasionally. 🙂 The big disadvantage, though, is you still don’t get an actual side by side.

I just drag the Undo History window out on the workspace and pull it high. By clicking at any level between the new opened picture and the last edit I can see the changes (and at the same time do an undo if I want).
Henrik,
That works fine but not if you have done a lot of changes … you then tend to run out of history undo’s 🙂
