How can a snapshot be created in the History panel of Photoshop?

Creating a snapshot in the History panel of Photoshop is accomplished by clicking the camera icon. This action captures the current state of the document at that moment in time. Snapshots are particularly useful because they allow users to easily revert to a specific stage of their work without affecting the history state chain. This way, you can quickly compare various iterations of your project or restore a previous look without losing all the subsequent edits.

When you click the camera icon, Photoshop saves the current view as a new snapshot, which you can later select to revert your project back to this point. This method offers an efficient and streamlined approach to managing workflows within Photoshop, especially when experimenting with different styles or adjustments that may or may not be desirable in the final image.
