Revert replaces your current file with the last saved file, effectively wiping out everything you’ve done since the file was last saved. You can revert to the last version of the file by choosing File➪Revert (or by pressing F12). You lose all the changes in your current file when the last saved version replaces it on-screen.
On the surface, Revert seems like an all-or-nothing proposition to be resorted to only when you’ve given up all hope of salvaging the current file. However, that’s not necessarily the case. For example, you may find using Revert to produce two versions of an image beneficial.
Perhaps you’ve done some work on an image and now want to compare this version of the image with a version of the image that you apply an entirely different set of commands to. Just duplicate the current version (choose Image➪Duplicate) and revert back to its pristine state to apply the other effects. Then you can compare versions to see which you like best. (This tactic works only if you haven’t saved the file along the way, of course.) You can use Revert in this manner as many times as you like to create two, three, or more versions all based on one original image.
The Revert command is stored on the History palette, so in many cases, you can remove the Revert command to restore the file to its manipulated state once again. You find out how to remove a command from the History palette in the next section.

Revert restores only the last saved version of your image. If you open an image, make some changes, and then save it, Revert backtracks to that saved version, not to the original. That’s why working with a copy of an image is a good idea, in case at some point you really do want to go back to the original version.
