Hi everyone, in this video we're going to go backwards...

I'm going to show you how to undo, reset...

reset partially, all of the edits we're doing over here in our Edits panel...

first up, I quickly showed you edit, undo...

I use the shortcut, 'Command Z' on a Mac, 'Ctrl Z' on a PC...

it just goes back one step, back, back, back, back.

So I'm going to turn the Auto back on there...

so undo, you probably know already...

we do know the backslash, not the forward slash, the backslash...

it's on all sorts of different keyboards, it just kind of toggles on and off...

edits that you've done versus the original...

but the big one is, I don't want to just toggle it...

as in, just show the original, I want to go back to the original...

and just get rid of everything, because if I toggle this back...

can you see, it grays out, and I can't go and adjust anything now...

so it's this option here, remember, backslash...

just kind of toggles it on and off...

but it means that that's disabled, it's not really reset...

it's just kind of previewing it, what it used to look like.

So with that back on, actually, I'll make a note of that...

because you will get to some point and you'll be Googling...

"Why are all my sliders grayed out?"

It's probably because of this button, or your backslash, same thing...

the trick, you want to get back all this messing you've done...

you can go to 'Photo', and there's this one called 'Reset Edits'...

now you can see here, I use the shortcut...

you might be head popping with shortcuts...

but 'Command R', or 'Ctrl R' on a PC...

these will all be on your shortcut sheet...

so print that up, circle it, I use that one loads...

and what it's done is, it's gone back to the original...

and kind of reset all of these sliders, every single thing about it...

now if that's a bit too much, I'm going to go 'Edit', 'Undo'...

so back to where it was, and let's say I want to reset partial, parts of it...

just like the color or the exposure, or just some part of it...

you hold down the 'Option' key on a Mac, 'Alt' key on a PC...

and can you see, it says, let's reset all the light, but not the color.

I'm going to undo that, so let's reset the color but leave the light...

so if you hold down the 'Option' key on a Mac, 'Alt' key on a PC...

and any of these become resets, crazy old shortcuts, I know...

maybe you just want to reset everything completely...

use the long way, because you're like, "Shortcuts suck"...

I'm going to go this way and go, reset all edits...

and just start again, that's totally fine...

after a while though you'll be like...

actually, I kind of got it close, I just want to reset part of it...

because you've gone through effects...

which we're going to get to in this course...

text your way up, or dehaze too far...

hold down the 'Option' key on a Mac, 'Alt' key on a PC...

and just click the word 'Reset', that particular group of settings...

but if you're like, "Oh, I want more control, Dan"...

you probably don't at this stage...

but I'm wrapping it up into a video...

so you can come back to it later on, you can...

let's say you want the slider back to a certain point...

you can just either double click the...

this little slider, and it goes back to where it started life as...

just double click them, or if you hover above, you just click 'Reset'...

just not holding anything down.

It's the shortcut for people who don't like shortcuts...

just hover your mouse above the word...

and you can click on it, and it resets it back...

or just double click these sliders, both work.

Now one thing that I come across every now and again...

is let's say I do make some Auto settings, and I want to hit Reset...

and I'm in this, like other panels, comments...

we haven't covered these yet, I know...

but I want to throw it in here to mush it. into this resetting video...

if I'm on this and I hit my shortcut, 'Command R'...

you can probably hear, I'm smashing away at the key, it doesn't work...

you have to be on Edit, that little Edit panel, then it works...

that might catch you out at some stage.

The other weird thing about Lightroom is it's undos...

so let's say that I go through and add a color...

I make it all this color, and then I go over here......

and I come back to this, and I go to 'Edit', 'Undo'...

it remembers that I clicked on these selections as an undo...

it's kind of weird, so if I go to Edit, Undo...

the last thing I did really was change the color of that...

but it's quite literal, it goes, I'm going to undo...

to where you were selected, over here...

it's sometimes useful, most of the time not for me in particular...

so I'm going to go 'Edit', 'Undo' again...

so the selection's gone back to here...

and then go 'Edit', 'Undo Temperature change'...

so just know that sometimes if you hit undo, it might not undo it...

depends on when you've clicked, does that kind of make sense?

If I click on this for, you know, if I do this for 10 minutes...

I'm going to have to go and click Edit, Undo...

10 minutes worth of undos, just so you know.

The other thing is non destructiveness...

because if you're like, "Great"...

I've made this change and I close Lightroom...

what happens when I open it?

Two things have happened, when I go over here and I add an image...

let's add a new one, I'm just going to add this one here, Adare04...

you can just watch me on this one, can you see over here...

once I add it, can you see, it's uploading to the Cloud...

where you can't, it's syncing, syncing one item...

so as part of your subscription to Lightroom...

you get a bunch of Cloud storage, and it's sending it up there now...

and the cool thing about it is that if I go through now...

and I make some mad edits...

just dragging things around...

so I make my edits something more obvious.

So I make these edits, the original is always preserved...

it's non-destructive...

every time I open this up in Lightroom it's going to say...

would you like to reset them? There we go...

here's my shortcut, 'Command R' on a Mac, 'Ctrl R' on a PC...

so never worry about, you know, in Photoshop if you open up a...

say a file, and you save over the top of it, it's kind of changed forever...

so often you'll make a, you know, make another copy...

you never have to do that in Lightroom...

jpeg images, raw images are all protected...

up in the Cloud, ready to go, your original on your machine ...

and the exercise files, that's not needed anymore...

you can use it as backup, totally great way of backing it up...

just keep it on a hard drive somewhere, back it up to Dropbox if you want to...

but Lightroom is doing that for you...

it's uploaded it to your cloud storage, just like Dropbox...

and the cool thing about it is...

all these settings are applied on top of your image...

and you can always go back to them and reset them and start again.

All right, that's all I have to say about going backwards...

undoing, resetting, all in one little video...

all right, that's it, on to the next video.
