Using the History Panel to undo tasks
You've used the Undo command to move backward one step. That's as far back
as Undo can take you. This is a practicality, because Photoshop files can be very
large, and maintaining multiple Undo steps can tie up a lot of memory, which tends
to degrade performance. If you press Ctrl+Z or Command+Z to undo, and then
press the shortcut again, Photoshop restores the step you removed initially.
When you want to go back more than one step, you could use the Step Backward
command to undo steps one at a time, but it's faster and easier to reverse multiple
actions using the History panel.
Photoshop stores a record of the steps you perform in the History panel. Knowing
this, you can try a creative approach, easily return to your starting point if you
don't get the results you want, and try going a different direction.
Applying filters and effects
You'll add a tombstone to the poster, and you'll experiment with filters and effects
to see what works, using the History panel to reverse course if necessary.
1.
In Photoshop, choose File > Open.
2.
Navigate to the Lesson09 folder, and double-click the T1.psd file to open
it.
The tombstone image is plain, but you'll add texture and color to it.
3.
In the Tools panel, click the Default Foreground And Background Colors
button ( ) to return the foreground color to black.
You'll start by adding a little atmosphere to the tombstone.
4.
Choose Filter > Render > Difference Clouds.
