ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 2.0
User Guide
Some layout programs use the column width
setting to specify the display of an image across
columns. The Image Size and Canvas Size
commands also use this setting. (See “Changing
the print dimensions and resolution of an image”
on page 78 and “Changing the size of the work
canvas” on page 80.)
4 Click OK.
To change the grid settings:
1 In Windows or Mac OS 9.x, choose Edit >
Preferences > Grid.
2 In Mac OS X, choose Photoshop Elements >
Preferences > Grid.
3 For Color, choose a preset color, or select
Custom to choose a custom color.
4 For Style, choose the line style for the grid.
Choose Lines for solid lines, or choose Dashed
lines or Dots for broken lines.
5 For Gridline every, enter a number value, and
then choose the unit of measurement to define the
spacing of major grid lines.
6 For Subdivisions, enter a number value to
define the frequency of minor grid lines.
7 Click OK.
Undoing operations
Most operations can be undone if you make a
mistake. Alternatively, you can restore all or part of
an image to its last saved version. But available
memory may limit your ability to use these
options.
For information on how to restore your image to
how it looked at any point in the current work
session, see “Reverting to any state of an image”
on page 26.
To undo the last operation:
Choose Edit > Undo, or click the Step Backward
button in the shortcuts bar.
If an operation can’t be undone, the command
dims and changes to Can’t Undo.
To redo the last operation:
Choose Edit > Redo, or click the Step Forward
button in the shortcuts bar.
To free memory used by the Undo command, the
Undo History palette, or the Clipboard:
Choose Edit > Purge, and choose the item type or
buffer you want to clear. If already empty, the item
type or buffer is dimmed.
Important: The Purge command permanently
clears from memory the operation stored by the
command or buffer; it cannot be undone. Use the
Purge command when the amount of information
held in memory is so large that the performance of
Photoshop Elements is noticeably diminished.
To revert to the last saved version:
Choose File > Revert.
Note: Revert is added as a history state in the Undo
History palette and can be undone.
