Chapter 19 Edit Menu Undo The Undo command enables you to take one step backward and remove changes that were made to the image or that were made within the current dialog. You can undo an unlimited number of changes within the same step, and nearly all changes you make on your image are undoable. Due to the non-destructive editing model that Capture NX 2 uses, you can also undo an enhancement by removing it or altering the settings within the Edit List palette without any loss of image quality. Shortcut Ctrl + Z (Windows) command + Z (Macintosh) Redo The Redo command becomes available after the Undo command has been used and enables you to reapply anything that was undone with the Undo command. Shortcut Ctrl + Shift + Z (Windows) command + shift + Z (Macintosh) Chapter 19 - Edit Menu | Undo 169
