Undo image adjustments
Lightroom provides several ways to undo, or reset, adjustments you make to photos as you’re working in the Develop
module.
Save a snapshot or preset of your settings before undoing them so that you don’t completely lose the settings.
To undo adjustments in the Develop module, do any of the following:
• Click the Reset button to revert back to the Lightroom default settings.
• Click the General - Zeroed preset in the Presets panel to remove all settings completely.
• Select an earlier version in the History panel or Snapshots panel that occurred before you applied the settings.
• Double-click individual slider controls to reset the sliders to zero.
• Choose Undo from the Edit menu. Lightroom tracks each setting you make. You can undo all of them by choosing
Undo multiple times.
