Hey Photoshop Gurus! Is there any way to save an image, but with all of its steps/history intact? I often like to compare the latest version of an image with a previous one to make sure I'm not going too far, if you know what I mean. Thanks!

As far as I know that is not possible, although would be a handy feature. I've thought about that myself a couple of times.

| If your using PS just start recording . Like you were creating an action. |

well, if you use PS 7, it is no problem.
Altough it should be possible in older versions...
try looking for something called "snapshot" - check it out, it works.

I´m not quite shure if I understand you correctly, but from version 6.0 you have the History tab where you can undo as much as you like.
It works for me.

That's true, and it's very helpful, but once I close the image, if I bring it back up again, the history is lost. I'll look into the other suggestions. Thanks!

| As long as you have some disk space, you can periodically use the "SaveAsCopy" command to save incremental versions. You may not have all the steps to undo, but you can go back to an earlier version. I think the Snapshot feature may do this, but I've never used it so I'm not familiar with the details. |

David - if you make all of your changes as separate layers, save your 'final' copy as a .psd file and THEN flatten and convert to .jpg In the lower right palette (for me) when you open it back up, it tells you your layers - you can see what you did in there on the psd copy.
*shrug* I think! :)

Make a snapshot in the history palette sure is a nifty feature. I also do 'save as'.
When doing manipulations, i also use a lot the shortcut ctrl+alt+shift+e (after creating a new layer first). This will give you a combined layer of all the visible layers and yet you still have all those individual layers as well. Very, very handy when you are playing with 'sandwiches' or are exploring different alternative routes on how to proceed. If you then keep the layers of various alternatives in different layer sets, it's quite manageable as well.
