PSP8 history - where?

I have a photo, to which I applied several techniques. I now wish to copy
those to another photo but I cannot for the life of me remember what I did
(thanks to CFS). Is there anywhere PSP remembers what techniques were
applied to an image and stores them as a log? I seem to recall v7 had a
'history', but I cannot find anything similar in 8.1 (and, to complicate
matters, I've just bought 9, so I'll have to start learning all over again!)

Thanks for any assistance, folks!

Providing you haven't closed the file you were working on the history
is available under Edit>Command History. A better way to apply the
same adjustments to another photo is to record a script while you make
the changes then apply it to as many other photos as you like in batch
processing.

In PSP 9 you can go to the History Palette, highlight all
the relevant commands by click-Shift-clicking in the usual
Windows way and then choose Save to Script from the
right-click context menu. The commands can then be used on
other images. In previous versions of PSP you can only view
the history by doing Edit > Command History. In PSP 8, if
you use forethought, you can record a script when making
changes you might want to use later. In PSP 7 and before,
where there is no scripting, you can only look at the
history.

No, he is just haunting the British Museum.

LOL!! Very funny Kristopher, everyone's a comedian! ;o) Thanks, looks like
I'm SOL as the file was created back in June. I know I should have recorded
a macro at the time, but didn't think about it. It doesn't really matter
now, anyway, as I've done something I like better.

Thanks, people!
