Edit Menu

The Edit options include the Undo/Redo system, as well as the Cut, Copy, and Paste feature.  All options are available from the shortcut menu when you right-click in the Main Display.

Undo/Redo

With Undo/Redo you can undo errors, or use it to see how an affect looks without applying it permanently to the image.

Undo

Undo is active from the moment you make a change to the image. A list of all the changes is recorded in the buffer.

Redo

Redo is active after you click the Undo button.  You can redo any changes you have undone.

Multiple Undo/Redo

You can select a large number of operations to undo or redo.

To use multiple Undo/Redo:

  1. Click the drop-down arrow next to the or button.

  2. Move the mouse pointer over the operations you wish to undo/redo and click the mouse button.

  3. Repeat Step 2 as required.

Undo/Redo Options

The Undo/Redo system is active by default.  If you have limited hard disk drive space you may choose to deactivate the system to preserve space.

To deactivate the Undo/Redo system:

  1. Click View | Options.

  2. Select the Undo/Redo tab and clear Enable Undo/Redo system.

  3. Click OK.

If the system is active the following options are available.

Buffer size

Information about the original image and all subsequent changes are kept in memory until the window is closed.  The amount of space designated for the buffer may limit the number of the Undo changes.  The buffer is cleared when the window is closed.

Compress Undo/Redo information

By compressing the information you can increase the number of changes stored in the buffer.  The Undo/Redo system will work slower due to the compressing and uncompressing of the store information.
