how do you back up farther then what the history shows in photoshop?

Question

Is there a way? It gets kindof frustrating

Answer 1

Go to the main menu and look under TOOLS.
(Or under FILE, can't remember exactly, getting old)
Select Preferences.
under one of the tabs is a way to increase the undo history. Normally, after install, it limits this to 10 undos to dsave memory resources. But this can be increased to something crazy like 999 undos.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

First, you should know that the reason it holds up to 20 is to keep your computer memory low. The more history you have, the more memory the program takes.

So, Have you found out how yet? Well, in case you haven't, or in case some one else asks the same question and finds you already asked it.... Go to Edit, down to Preferences, Click on General. There will be an option that says "History States" and it should say 20. You can change that number to anything you want.

If you have further questions, you can find everything you need to know in the Help section... A lot of people don't use that.. In fact, I never used it either, until I took a class and the teacher suggested it!

Answer 3

Unless you saved an older version. You don't.
