Working With Image History

You can choose whether or not to save the history of cropped images.

How to Enable or Disable the Discard History Feature

  1. Open an image.

  2. In the Edit ribbon, either enable or disable Discard History.

    • Enabled When Discard History is enabled, the areas you crop out of an image are deleted. Once you save and close an image, you will not be able to retrieve the image history.

    • Disabled When Discard History is disabled, you will be able to recover the image history and resize the cropped image at any time, even after saving and closing an image. However, previously discarded regions will no longer be available.

Tip If you are unsure of whether or not you are ready to finalize your image, make sure Discard History is unchecked. If Discard History is on while you crop, you will not be able to restore your full image, even if you uncheck it after cropping.

Note If Discard History is disabled (unchecked), your image history will display with a semi-transparent overlay in place any time you crop using the image boundaries.

Note If Discard History is disabled (unchecked), you can click Edit > Restore Image Size to restore the image to its most recent maximized size at any time.
