How did you 'undo' at 1:25?

thnx

@Migrant2lighT - Great question. Riz3nFilms is correct. Hold CTRL and tap Z to go back one step. If you need to go back multple steps, you would hold CTRL ALT and tap Z as many steps as you need to back up. Alternatively, there is a history panel you can use too on the menu to the right. :)

I got a question. How do you maximize an image? Like, how do you make it bigger?

[ThePsychStudios]

@BarrelsPolesandJack - If you just want to zoom in on it, you would use the magnifying glass, but if you want to actually make the photo larger, you would go to the top menu and click Image, then Image Size, change the values there. You want to keep in mind when using this method, it can cause pixilation if you make it too big. These are bitmap images, and not vector so, you can really only blow them up so much. I hope that helps. :)

@ThePsychStudios Thank you and you Riz3n. I'm a beginner in using Photoshop CS5 and sometimes I had to close the image when I do a mistake and re-open it once again with doing the same steps.

That helps, thank you bro.
