After working on an image (tweaking here cropping there etc.) and generating a long history list is there some way of saving the history so that it is possible to go back and examine what steps were used to achieve that fantastic work of art the next time the computer is turned on and Photoshop loaded?

Unfortunately, no. Such an opton would generate some pretty huge file sizes.

what you can do is to make an action script. Simply press the record button, and you'll be able to save it all.

Slynky, If I was to make an action script wouldn't that record all changes made during the creation process? For example if I made 100 brush strokes then deleted all of them because I decided on using a different type of brush would'nt those 100 brush strokes form part of the action script? Shane

you can edit the script itself and delete parts of it that you want deleted. at lesat so much as i can remember you can.

Slynky, If you can edit the script then that may be just what I need. Time to hit the books and learn something about action scripts. Thanks for your help. Shane

CorelDraw was better at. It comes with Corel Script Editor. It's easier on the eye to see the script on one whole screen than to work in the adobe palette. Yes, you can drag off actions palette and enlarge it to work on but was hoping Adobe Photoshop/Image Ready would have improved action editing with version 7. You can edit any actions script. You can delete, add, rearrange, insert stops, insert menu items etc. There are certain tasks that can't be recorded. You can include stops in your action that let you perform a task that cannot be recorded (for example, using a painting tool).
For the ones you get just right and want to apply on many images, the droplet is great. I have so many droplets that i'm going to have to rename them all so I know which does what LOL.
