Photoshop CC 2017 Time Spent Editing an Image

[Ethylmethylether]

Hey fellas,

Is there any way you can see how many time you spent editing a photo? Is this an option in Photoshop 2017??

Thanks for your time and attention.

Best Regards.

Yes.

Goto Preferences > History Log > Choose a location and name for the logfile and set Edit Log Items to Detailed. It will log everything you do. I don't know if the Concise setting also logs the time but you can surely test that out.

It logs everything I do but it doesn't show the timestamps, atleast not in the text file.

I dont find the option to look into the metadata of the file. Can you help me out here?

Nah, in the metadata I cant see the timestamps either :

I appreciate your help and attention tho. Thanks mate.

I suspect you did not specified Detailed and used Concise instead...

[Ethylmethylether]

Yeah, my mistake, thanks mate. Appreciate it.
