Simple suggestion to improve Photoshop workflow: remove "layer visibility" from history

My suggestion is for Adobe to eliminate "layer visibility" from the history panel.

 

Like may users, I frequently hide and show layers I have created, sometimes toggling back and forth many times to evaluate my work. This has the unintended consequence of cluttering up the history timeline with "layer visibility" repeated over and over, making it harder to find the last real edit you did. In some cases, you even lose access to earlier edits because "layer visibility" is taking up so many spaces that you exceed the maximum.

 

Maybe Adobe could make it a user option to either hide or show layer visibility commands in the history timeline.

This option already exists. You can enable or disable undo of visibility changes.

Neither of these options are availible in Elements 2026, so for this app it's still unsolved.

This is the Photoshop forum, and yes the features of Elements are fewer than those of Photoshop.
