Undoing and redoing actions

Corel PHOTO-PAINT lets you undo actions you apply to an image, starting with the most recent action. If you don’t like the result of undoing actions, you can redo them. You can undo or redo actions applied to an image, such as a brushstroke, an effect, or a transformation; however, you cannot undo or redo actions applied to the workspace, such as changing preferences.

The undo settings can be customized, allowing you to increase or decrease the number of actions you can undo and redo.

Keep in mind that the higher the number of actions in the undo list, the more memory is required to maintain the undo list. You can free memory by permanently clearing all actions from the undo list.

You can also restore parts of an image by erasing the last action. For more information, see Erasing image areas.

Left to right: Original image; cropped image; undoing the cropping action restores the dimensions of the image.

To undo or redo actions

To	Do the following
Undo the last action	Click Edit Undo [last action].
Redo the last action	Click Edit Redo [last action].
Undo or redo a series of actions	In the Undo manager docker, choose an action from the list. All actions listed below the action you choose will be undone. If the Undo manager docker is not open, click Edit Undo manager or Window Dockers Undo manager.
Remove all actions in the Undo manager docker to free memory	Click Edit Purge Undo list.

When you undo a series of actions, the action you choose and all actions listed below it are undone.

When you redo a series of actions, the action you choose and all actions listed between it and the last undone action are redone.
