Here are a few tips for those needing to immediately hide the Recent list due to proprietary or private images: Because if someone is already looking over your shoulder while Photoshop starts up, you don’t have time to pick and choose individual images, you want to hide all of it right away.

There are a lot of ways to avoid this type of thing in the future, and they might be better than having a selective delete of the Recent list. Sure, embarrassing my father-in-law was pretty bad, but there are a lot of situations where you don't want your recent work to be prominently displayed on your startup page when you launch Photoshop. Imagine if I were working on something proprietary where nobody could see it or I'd lose my job. It's a really really crappy feature of Photoshop. You can't select a preview without opening it. Maybe a close box on the preview image? Nope. Is there no way to get Photoshop to quit bringing up my business when I don't want it to? I figured you could do something as simple as right-click any images in your 'recent images' page and select 'remove from recent' from a context menu.

No problem.Įxcept that when I launched Photoshop, my S&M photos showed up under 'recent images' and I cannot find a way to get rid of them. The photo was taken in 1939 or something and he didn't realize that you could do such a thing. A day later, without thinking about it, I decided to help my father in-law fix some mold on an old photo of his. So the other day I created a couple of images in photoshop where I placed pictures of myself naked except some leather thigh-high boots, armbands, a harness, a captains cap, and a cigar on top of various stock background images.
