In Photoshop when I'm editing a picture is there someplace I can click so that I can see all the changes I made to that photo? I know there is the history button window thing but that only goes back so far, and if your doing something like using the healing brush where you make lot's of little changes it can fill up your history bar pretty fast.
Nope. Unless you make a copy of the layer to which you apply changes, such that you can simply turn on/off the modified copy to see the original, or use the Snapshot feature (in the History palette) ... PS will only "record" history for the number of sets you have it set to (something like 10 by default, but user definable).
You can always go back to the original by clicking on the large thumb at the very top of the history list. Granted it takes you all the way back to original. Which is why you should work with layers, then you can go back a few steps at a time much easier by just deleting a layer if needed or look back a few steps by turning a layer on & off.
You can set preferences for snapshots so it generates one every time you save. Then when you're doing a lot of niggling healing brush, you can save every so often ad get interim snapshots. All of which you can drag to trash when you're satisfied. You can also use healing brush on the face, say, then clone that layer and work on the hands, and clone THAT layer and work on the hair, whatever, and have several layers you can fade in and out for best advantage. If I have to do a lot of something in distinct areas, I almost always do it this way.
