be reversed by a single "Redo" action. You can alternate "Undo" and "Redo" as many times as you like. Note that you can only "Redo" an operation if the last action you did was an "Undo". If you perform any operation on the image after Undoing something, then the former Redo steps are lost, and there is no way to recover them. See the Undoing section for more information. To see the operations which you have done and undone, use the Undo History dialog. Activating the Command • You can access this command from the image menubar through Edit Redo , • by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl Y , • or by simply clicking on the status you want in the Undo History dialog. Undo History The Undo History command activates the Undo History dialog, which shows you thumbnails representing the operations you have done so far on the current image. This overview makes it easier for you to undo steps or to redo them. Use the arrows for Undo and Redo, or simply click on the thumbnail, to bring the image back to a previous state. This is especially useful when you are working on a difficult task, where you often need to undo several steps at once. It is much easier to click on step 10 than to type Ctrl Z ten times. The "Clear undo History" command may be useful if you are working on a complex image and you want to free some memory. Activating the Command • You can access this command from the image menubar through Edit Undo History . There is no default keyboard shortcut. Cut The Cut command deletes the contents of the image's selections, and saves them in a clipboard so that they can later be pasted using the "Paste", "Paste Into", or "Paste As New" commands. If there is no selection, the entire current layer is cut. The areas whose contents are cut are left transparent, if the layer has an alpha channel, or filled with the layer's background color, otherwise. • You can access this command from the image menubar through Edit Cut , • or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl X . Copy The Copy command makes a copy of the current selection and stores it in the Clipboard. The information can be recalled using the Paste, Paste Into, or Paste As New commands. If there is no selection, the entire current layer is copied. "Copy" only works on the current active layer. Any layers above or below it are ignored.
