ncJohn Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I'm using Photo version 1.8.5.703 in Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. I've been working on a few large-ish files for the last few days and last night I found AP getting a little sluggish and I found I was using a large portion of my system RAM. I also had somehow managed to get my Colors panel situated so that the top edge was off-screen, preventing me from moving it. So I did a Studio Reset to get the Colors panel back to its default position, exited the program to reset the system RAM, and restarted it. Before I shut it down my history panel was showing only text for the individual entries (set visibility, delete levels, etc) but after I restarted the program the entries in the history panel have a thumbnail of the layer and the date and time. Is this because of the Studio Reset, or did I pop into a new version when I exited the program and restarted it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 You have to explicitly save with history. File > Save History With Document this needs to have a check mark. It will also make your document larger and it could also use more RAM.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the History panel selected you will see a burger menu on the far right. Clicking that menu will allow you to select the Advanced option which will then show Thumbnails and a time and date for all the History entries Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.
