Exporting the image editing history to a text file
You can track changes that you make to an image by exporting the list of changes (edit history) to a text file. The edit history can be used for reference if you want to recreate a look or create a tutorial. It can also be used as an official record of edits made to an image.
There are two ways to export the editing log for an image file:
• In the History palette, you can save a log file of the current editing session.
• In the Current Image Information dialog box, you can view and export the Edit history for an image file.

History palette, click the
Save session history to text file button

2 In the Save As dialog box, choose a destination, type a filename for the .log file and click Save.
