I used up the free trial on my PC a while ago, so I don't know since I haven't searched. The reason I ask is because I guess there are few different preference options for a PC and a Mac. I have Illustrator on my PC and I had the option to change the key command for undoing. When I use the program at school in the Mac computer lab, I do not have that option.

I'm interested in buying Photoshop, so I just want to know if the way to add multiple undos can be adjusted on a PC. I know it can't be on a Mac.
I've been editing very large images with many layers recently, and I noticed disk performance issues - so I thought that by changing my preferences to set the scratch disk to the D drive, I might improve things (more available space, not competing with Windows disk usage, etc).  Now when I launch PE, it throws up an error: 'Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked. Use the properties command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file' and refuses to open.  However, it doesn't say what file it's trying to open, so I don't know how to fix it - and I can't get into PE to change the preference back to the C drive.  Unfortunately the preferences file isn't ASCII so I can't edit it manually. Added a half-hour later: By simply removing all the setup files I can get back into PE, but I'd still like to know what folder(s) and/or file(s) PE is trying to create on the D drive, so that I can see if there's any performance improvement.
I upgraded to a new MB & CPU. The CPU is 3.20 gigahertz AMD Phenom II X4 955 quad core. Do I need to to anything in the preferences to get full use of the new setup?
I recently had to delete my preferences file and I had forgotten how much I had customized my Photoshop (CS5).Now, however, I can't remember how I changed some of the default settings, such as the location of brushes, gradients, patterns and shapes, that I keep in a central location. Used to be, that if I wanted to replace the brushes, It would open to this location where I actually store all my brushes, not the default location on the C drive.
My Learning Center uses a program to throw away all changes made to the drive where PSE 10 is installed (system drive) every night. Is there a way to change the drive on which the preferences are stored so they don't get thrown away every night?
When I went into LR4 just now I must have hit a button and all of my 700+ edited images from a specific collection started changing back to their original state. What did I push? How do I get them back without having to do it one by one in the history mode?
I think it'd be so cool to be able to replay your entire undo history of a picture, so you can see and show others how you proceeded on a picture you made. That way, it's never necessary to capture screen video for like 10 hours and stuff..
So first you'd need to add an option to save the undo history (so that you always keep the history from when you started). Then you'd need an option to playback the undo history.
If LR 5 included the ability to undo a specific change fro the history panel? This ? was asked in 2007, undoing "#3 out of 50". At present, would have to CTRL Z all the way back OR manually adjust all slider bars.
I have a problem understanding how undo marks are added to the undo stack.In the code below a fan of lines are draw in a random location.If you run MTest a few times, the AutoCAD Undo command will remove the fans one at a time.
If you run MMulti to draw 10 fans, the AutoCAD Undo command will remove all the fans in a single step.I want to be able to remove the fans one at a time.I thought that a StartTransaction / Commit pair would act as markers for the undo stack, but this isn't working.
Tested on AutoCAD 2010 VS 2008 <CommandMethod("MMult")> _  Sub testmult()        Dim i As Integer        For i = 1 To 10            Call testdraw()        Next  End Sub [code]....
I'd like to change what the right mouse button does. I went to EDIT > PREFERENCES > INPUT CONTROLLERS and tried to see where to change this (and I did successfully for the mouse wheel last week) but I couldn't find under MOUSE BUTTONS what would control what command is accessed via the right mouse wheel.
how to make a change in the preferences to what the right mouse wheel does? I know where's the most likely place to go to find the command; it's just where to access the right mouse wheel that has me stumped.
where the preferences are saved for items like in the postscript tab. Automatically increase Flatness
Auto increase Fountain fill steps. Optimize Fountain Fills
Confirm to DSC
As far as I can see the default behavior for these should be ON, it used to be this could be saved as the Defaults until after version 9, now they turn off. However is there any reason to ever have them off? I think not but just in case there is I will allow as to leave them there for people to turn off.
Yes I am aware I can save those settings as Print styles and have in fact got 2, one with crop marks enabled and because crop marks are 100 % CMYK unless greyscale is chosen I have one with no cropmarks so Xerox doesn't charge me color clicks on mixed black and color prints. Of course one has only to forget to use one of these 2 preferences to have all the problems associated with not having those items checked such as dropped out complex items.
While I am at it another default should be NOT to treat all objects as filled - the first thing needed to be changed during a install. I can however live with it as is as it is not a item that needs to be changed with every job.
As I see it the most common reason for Adobe users to complain about Coreldraw is the problems that come by not having Auto Increase Flatness as a default postscript behavior and their not knowing to turn it on.
And while I am at it an addition for creating PDF's would be the option of creating as a Bitmap, this being the preferred proofing method so providing a proof doesn't provide the artwork to the client, it could also be a useful method of supplying Web artwork.
PC, Windows 7, AI CC..I have a document that displays units in points, and when I change the unit type to inches in the preferences panel and the Document Setup panel, the change won't apply. Â I've tried saving as a new document, restarting, etc. I even tried setting the units to other units... doesn't matter what I have the units set to in preferences, it's always displaying points.
I want to know if I have understand this correctly or not: layer previous undos the last change in layer related command. Then If my last action is on layer, unod command will do the same. layer previous advantage is when you want to perform an undo which is not your last action.
I've made the switch from Photoshop v7 to Photoshop CS2 (yay), but theres this one very annoying little nuisance! In v7, i could try some things out and experiment with things, and if i was unsatisfied with the results, i would just pres Ctrl+Z a couple dozen times, and voila! Back to where I would experiment some more. However, in CS2, i can't find out how to set so that i can UNDO more than once. It just toggles between UNDO and REDO. Its just a minor annoyance, but it really bugs me. Is there a way to undo more than once (or a whole lot ) by pressing Ctrl+Z or another keyboard shortcut, or am i stuck to using the history window?
I have photoshop CS, I can't undo more then one action!! Is there a way to Undo more then one step? All it's doing for me now is Undo, Redo, Undo, Redo... im usd to bein gable to just hit undo undo undo and say for example undo three lines I had drawn... How do I have multple undos?
In CS that I've just installed (yes, new to PS the ctrl-z only undo's 1 step backwards, what can I do to enable it to undo multiple times? Coming from PSP, you could undo for hundreds of steps....
Whenever i make a mistake i press Ctrl+Z but it only go's back one step. I cant find the setting to change it so i can go back about 10 or 20 steps. Is there such a setting?
Also, can anybody give me advice about making a (Simple) mouth. I can only make straight line. I tried to curve them with the smudge tool but it looked awful.
Undo method, under the Edit menu. The Undo turns into Redo, and you have to use the Step Backward command if more than one undo is required. Even Ctrl Z is both an Undo and Redo if pressed consecutively. Image Ready doesn't work like this, nor do most other apps, including other Adobe programs. Just seems a strange approach, particularly as it appears only Photoshop uses this method (Although maybe it's changed since PS 7?).
They used to have this option that makes it so pressing undo twice does not does not undo your last undo. I think it also sets redo to ctrl+y. For the life of me, I can't find this option anymore. Does anyone know where they moved it?
I can't seem to find the restore adobe defaults magic button. Right now I right click on all of my tools, and it doesn't give me any options besides what is already there in the tools pallet. For instance I am stuck with the gradient tool, and the paint bucket doesn't show up. I'll read some more, but I'm not sure what the heck I did, or it's a glitch.....
I'm only finding 2 choices: 1. Edit>Undo (for a single undo action)2. Ctrl+Z (for multiple undo actions) I'm not a fan of searching the keyboard for short cuts if I can justclick on the screen. (Ctrl+Z=pain in the *** for me) Is there a button available?A 'back' or 'undo' button? I bet CS4 has one . . . should have waited for CS4 . . .
i used to have PS CS3 Extended.. but ever since i upgraded to PS CS4, when i'm working on a file and try to undo, the screen doesn't seem to refresh, meaning that after undoing (even though the history panel reflects the undo) whats supposed to be undone still appears on the screen, but it goes away as soon as you move the cursor on the file and click with the mouse.
in short, when undoing anything you need to click on the image to update or refresh the file.
i have tried enabling and disabling the GPU setting and did all sort of other things to work it.
i have ps CS4 as part of the master collection CS4 but only installed PS & bridge plus the shared components.
how do I undo rulers and grids. I have tried to uncheck everything and even got out of photoshop and came back in and still every singel image has a grid on it.
I batch processed a set of edited photos from color to b&w. I intended to save the b&w conversions into a new folder, but must have done something wrong because now the original color photos (which i had just spent 4+ hours editing) are gone and only the b&w files remain.
Is there a way to recover the color photos? i hadn't backed up the harddrive yet, and i still have the original unedited files, but i am hoping there's a way to "undo" the batch process so i don't have to edit all the files again.
