This lesson demonstrates how to colour-tone black and white photographs. To work
along, download my Tynemouth Life Brigade Watch House image Here. Unzip the file and open it onto Photoshop’s workspace. Alternatively, open your own image and convert it to black and white as demonstrated in my lesson Here.
Undo and Navigation Steps
Two ways of undoing steps are from the top menu, Edit then Step Backwards. Alternatively, click a previous snapshot in the History Palette.
Navigate (zoom in and pan) your image using the Navigator Palette,
or the Zoom Tool. 
Activate The Hand Tool by tapping the Spacebar, keeping the Spacebar pressed, pan your image in the usual way.
