You can revert the image to any point in its Undo History simply by clicking on the right entry in the list. For more information on GIMP's Undo mechanism and how it works, see the section on <a href="ch02s04s05.html" title="4.5. Undoing">Undoing</a>. </p> <p> The Undo History dialog is a dockable dialog; see the section on <a href="ch02s03s04.html" title="3.4. Dialogs and Docking">Dialogs and Docking</a> for help on manipulating it. It can be activated in several ways: </p> <div class="itemizedlist"> <ul type="disc"> <li> <p> From the Toolbox menu: <span class="guimenu">File</span>-><span class="guisubmenu">Dialogs</span>-><span class="guimenuitem"><span class="accel">U</span>ndo History</span>. </p> </li> <li> <p> From the Toolbox menu: <span class="guimenu">File</span>-><span class="guisubmenu">Dialogs</span>-><span class="guisubmenu">Create New Dock</span>-><span class="guimenuitem">Layers, Channels, and Paths</span>. This gives you a dock containing four dialogs, with the Undo History dialog one of them. </p> </li> <li> <p> From an image menu: <span class="guimenu">Edit</span>-><span class="guimenuitem"><span class="accel">U</span>ndo History</span>. </p> </li> <li> <p> From an image menu: <span class="guimenu">Dialogs</span>-><span class="guimenuitem"><span class="accel">U</span>ndo History</span>. </p> </li> <li> <p> From the Tab menu in any dockable dialog: <span class="guimenu">Add Tab</span>-><span class="guimenuitem"><span class="accel">U</span>ndo History</span>. </p> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="simplesect" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <div class="titlepage"> <div> <div> <h3 class="title"><a id="id3452646"></a>Using the Undo History dialog</h3> </div> </div> </div> <p> The most basic thing you can do is to select a point in the Undo History by clicking on it in the list. You can go back and forth between states in this way as much as you please, without losing any information or consuming any resources. In most cases, the changes are very fast. </p> <p> At the bottom of the dialog are three buttons: </p> <div class="itemizedlist"> <ul type="disc"> <li> <p><b>Undo. </b> This button has the same effect as choosing <span class="guimenu">Edit</span>-><span class="guimenuitem">Undo</span> from the menu, or pressing <span><b class="keycap">Ctrl</b></span>-<span><b class="keycap">Z</b></span>; it reverts the image to the next state back in the undo history. </p> </li> <li> <p><b>Redo. </b> This button has the same effect as choosing <span class="guimenu">Edit</span>-><span class="guimenuitem">Redo</span> from the menu, or pressing <span><b class="keycap">Ctrl</b></span>-<span><b class="keycap">Y</b></span>; it advances the image to the next state forward in the undo history. </p> </li> <li> <p><b>Clear Undo History. </b> This button removes all contents from the undo history except the current state. If you press it, you are asked to confirm that you really want to do this. The only reason for doing it would be if you are very constrained for memory. </p> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div class="navfooter"> <hr /> <table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"> <tr> <td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="ch04s07.html">Prev</a> </td> <td width="20%" align="center"> <a accesskey="u" href="ch04.html">Up</a> </td> <td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="ch04s09.html">Next</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">7. Navigation Dialog </td> <td width="20%" align="center"> <a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a> </td> <td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> 9. Colors dialog</td> </tr> </table> </div> </body> </html>
