Q

What is the ‘history’ panel?

And how do you use it?

A

LT records your activity - you can see exactly what adjustments you have applied to your image and in what order.

You can then step back and reverse your process and work from any prior point, thus invalidating the more recent adjustments if you are not happy with them.
If you keep the history panel open you can see this in action – go back to a prior action, click on it. Then make some new changes. The history will then delete the subsequent actions and start recording the new ones.

RE: this is good to know – a way of keep the history simple is if you are trying several setting of the same thing and once you settle on the one you want, just go back to that one in the history before making new changes, thus deleting the experiments.

Q

How can you reset the history panel and why do it?

A

You can also ‘clear all’ (cross TR of history panel) if the history is getting cluttered and you’re confident you don’t want to step back in time at all in the processing of the image.

Q

Does LR save your history on a file when you exit the program?

A

When you close LR, hit saves the history for a file you have been working on so that when you re-start LR it’s all there (unlike PS).
