Photoshop’s history panel is a powerful tool that can help you track your changes and revert to previous versions of your work. However, over time, your history panel can become cluttered with unnecessary entries, which can make it difficult to find the information you need. Fortunately, there are several ways to clean up your Photoshop history panel and make it more manageable.
One way to clean up your history panel is to delete individual entries. To do this, simply click on the entry you want to delete and press the Delete key. You can also delete multiple entries at once by selecting them and pressing the Delete key. If you accidentally delete an entry, you can undo the deletion by pressing Ctrl+Z (Windows) or Cmd+Z (Mac).
Another way to clean up your history panel is to merge adjacent entries. This can help to reduce the number of entries in your history panel and make it easier to find the information you need. To merge adjacent entries, simply select the entries you want to merge and click on the Merge button in the History panel. You can also merge all of the entries in your history panel by clicking on the Merge All button.
