Hi,
I’m tring to eliminate a particular state in the History palette. I’ve needed to do this again and again but have never worked out how to.
Basically, what I do goes something like this:
-I have an image on a non-locked background layer.
-I draw something on that layer.
-I add a new layer on top and I draw something on that layer too. So I now have two layers. What I want to do is to revert the lower layer to the state it was in before I drew on it, but without getting rid of the new layer and it’s artwork.
Obviously, I should have done the drawing on the background layer on a layer of its own, that way I could simply have deleted it, but my question is more general: how do I delete a particular step in the actions palette without deleting what comes after it?
I’ve tried using the "non-linear" history option and deleting the drawing step, but when I then go to the last step in the history palette, it adds the drawing back in again.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Pat
