Is there a way to track and log the changes I make to a photo?

I've been  using Photoshop Elements 14 for about 6 weeks now. I've made a lot of adjustments to photos, but looking back at them later, I often don't know exactly what adjustments I made. I usually have the original copy as well, so I can see the difference, and I make some indication of the changes when naming the edited version, but I'm wondering if there is any way to actually track the specific changes as I make them. Is that what adjustment layers are for (I'm only beginning to learn about layers)?

    The info. palette records the steps during a current editing session.

    If you desire to preserve the layer structure for subsequent editing, don't flatten the layers and save as a .PSD file. Of course, additionally you can save as a .JPEG file for e-mail attachment, etc. This consumes a little more disk space, but you can delete the PSD once you are happy with the end result.

    I am just learning about layers; I have not used them on any of the photos that I've edited, so I don't know how your suggestion applies to what I've been doing, or what I should change in the future. If I save any edited photo as a PSD, will I be able to trace back the changes I made when I next open the PSD?

    Why don't you try it out.

    Open a picture file

    Open a blank layer above the background layer

    Activate the brush tool and paint something in red

    Open another blank layer above this and paint with black

    Save as .PSD
