Is it possible to get the paramaters used at any point of the history? Say I used the color balance tool, is it possible to view from the history the settings I used when applying it? (Photoshop must store this information if it can revert and reapply it right?)
I am using Photoshop CS4, thanks.
Answer
In the preferences set the History Log to a Text file (and set a save location for it) and choose “Detailed” from the drop down.
Once you do this Photoshop will track settings.
For example you could then open the text file and see something like this:
2012-03-29 15:33:47 File Untitled-1 opened
Curves
Curves
Preset Kind: Custom
Adjustment: curves adjustment list
curves adjustment
Channel: composite channel
Curve: point list
point: 0, 0
point: 100, 83
point: 172, 211
point: 255, 255
Color Balance
Color Balance
Shadow Levels: 0, 0, 0
Midtone Levels: 23, -52, 95
Highlight Levels: 0, 0, 0
With Preserve Luminosity
Note… if you don’t have this set.. there’s no way to get the info from a previous image. As far as I’m aware, this is the only way to get previous settings used and until it’s set like this the data is not stored anywhere specifically.
