Hello wisdom or crowds

 

In Adobe Camera Raw the shortuts P & Q are not showing the original file.

Have a look at the screen shot in the attachment.

How did I replace the original - and how can I replace it again?

 

Cheers

Howard

I don't understand your question, "How did I replace the original - and how can I replace it again?"

Are you wanting to reset your image to default settings or just toggle default settings on and off?

To reset to default:

Te toggle default settings on  and off:

Here is a comprehensive list of Camera Raw shortcut keys:

I want to compare my current edit to the original picture.
Usually I can switch between both with <P>review and <Q> Cycle Preview View; but in both cases, the overexposed image in the middle of my screen shot appears.

How can I switch the preview image out, to the original one?

 

 

Wait a sec! I had to click on "Toggle to default settings" several times, until it worked!

How did I overwrite those "Default settings"?

 

Second edit: Nope, whenever I press <P> or <Q>, it shows me the overexposed imaged again.

The «Toggle to default settings» altered the «Before view» - how come?
Cf. the image in the attachment.
