Is there a way to save your snapshots with the .PSD? I want to have them later, but I have found out that they don’t save ☹ I need them so that if later I decide I don’t like something I can go back…

I dont think you can save multiple snap shots in ram, so i would take a snap shot then ctl n in photoshop (size will be set to the snapshot size already 🙂 ) then paste it in, save the file as snap1.psd.

:: only way i can think of.

no, i mean like when you right click in the undo payne and you can take snapshots, and then it shows them at the top of the undo payne, but then they disappear when you close and open photoshop again

like history you can’t save your history pallette with the file, but you can right click on those snap shots, and select new document, which you can save each one individually.

When creating a snap shot, it will ask you if you want a full document (all layers) merged layers or just the layer you are on. Something also to keep in mind.
