Anti-erase in photoshop?

[Newbwc3]

How can I anti-erase in photoshop? Like when I erase somthing thats on a layer and want part of it back. This is easy to do in gimp...

Use the history tab.. but it has limits though, you cant go back too much.

i think the hotkey is Ctrl+Alt+Z .

Do you mean like undo'ing it or using a layer mask?

If it is done on a separate layer, you can just erase your mistake. Otherwise, just use the history. If you directly painted on the layer of the picture, then you can't really "anti-erase" without undoing the action. That's why there are layers, they let you erase parts of that specifically while not messing up the picture layer beneath it. =P

You could use a layer mask, rather than just erasing it.
