Can you "undo" a snapshot?

[DCorbie2]

Hello everyone!

I was deleting several recent steps in the history palette, then all of the previous history disappeared and there's just one step remaining...the snapshot. The problem lies in that I wanted to continue deleting a few more actions.

Is there a way to expand the steps that are saved in the snapshot? Right now, if I delete that step, it goes back to the original photo.

Any help will be appreciated!
Oh! I'm using CS3 extended on a Mac.
Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion iDad, but I'm not sure how to rephrase the question. I'll give it a try tho:

At some point of dragging about 5 listed actions in my history palette to the trashcan, all of the previous historical actions disappeared and seemingly rolled into what looks like ONE action sitting in my history palette.

I know there were about 20steps that got me to that state in the photo. But there is only 1 action listed.

If I delete that one listed action (I thought was called a "snapshot"), it deletes everything I had done to that point and takes me back to the original, unedited photo.

I really wanted to delete a few of the 20 or so actions, but they are no longer listed out in the history palette. They are all rolled into that 1 "action" listed. So is there a way to expand the "snapshot" action listed in the history palette so I can delete a few of the actions rolled into it. Otherwise I have to start over from the unedited photo. Not a huge deal since there's only 20 or 30 steps in there, but I would hate for that to happen after I had done a ton of work on a pic.

Just a note....I have my history palette set to show over 100 steps.

Thanks for any help
