| Is there any way to see a history of my editing steps in Photoshop Elements? If not, is there any way to keep track of what I have done without writing down each step? |

The only way that i am aware of is writting it down. I keep a huge notebook here beside my computer and when i work a challenge entry i write each step down as i do it. If theres an easier way i would love to know it myself! ~~Cher~~

there's a history palette that shows the steps.

I always save a copy as a PS file before I flatten image or save as JPG.
Then you have the history pallette.
I could be missing an easier way to do it, 'cuz I'm no PS expert.
It is a good idea to save that way anyway so you don't lose quality when you rework. It's called lossy format, I think?

PS can save a log file of every editing step taken during a session -- but it gets large very quickly as it logs every step just as the history pallet does. It is also written over in the next session.
I don't recall off-hand how to turn it on, and unfortunately don't have time to look as I have to get to work. Sorry.

| I keep a PSD file for the challenge entries and all modifications are done on adjustment layers, so I know what I did when I re-open the psd file layers. |

I looked up the History Log in the help file -- Edit Menu/Preferences/General
The history log can be stored as a seperate file or as metadata along with the PSD file.

You can also annotate the file as you proceed, leaving notes to yourself on steps taken that you wish to remember.

The easiest way I have found to do this is to create a new action when you start and end it when you are done. You never have to use this action but at least you have a record that, unlike history, doesn't disappear when you close the file.
