Save History in PSD File

[youphspg]

Is there anyway the latest CS5 can save files with history all saved also? If so, how?

[youphspg]

Please let me know if this is possible. Thanks

Not that I'm aware of.
History for an image gets deleted from memory when you close the file.

Unfortunately it is not possible. The fiel size would be huge anyway if it were possible.

Time to go back to school guys. Yes, it's possible:
History states are not normally saved with the files, but you can turn this option on in the General Preferences, in the History Log section. I'm sure the Help files can enlighten you on what the different options do.

Thanks for pointing that out Wil... the history log will allow you to save a text output of each history state, if that's what you were looking for.

It's not possible to save the history states though, so that you could revert any of the changes... at least as far as I know.

I believe the OP is asking for a way to save the history states, not for a log when the file was opened and saved.

Edit: I see Gaus already said that.

The log saves detailed account of every history state and the edit that was made to change the state. If that isn't what you're looking for, I'd recommend saving versions of your comp as you go.

The OP hasn't really clarified what he meant but I assume, and I may be wrong, that he wants to open a saved PSD file and see all the changes still in the history panel.
