Committing and Undoing Operations

 
 
 

You can undo multiple paint strokes in layer-based Paint. In the context of undo, a stroke is whatever you paint on the canvas until you commit.

Do any of the following to commit paint strokes to the undo stack:

For example, if you use a 20-pixel brush to apply several strokes to the canvas and then click Ctrl + Z (for Windows and Linux) or Cmd + Z (for Mac OS), all of the strokes created with this brush are erased. On the other hand, if you press Spacebar between each stroke and then click Ctrl + Z (for Windows and Linux) or Cmd + Z (for Mac OS), the strokes will be erased one at a time.
