How do I go back to the pictures original settings?
I made a mistake in processing and want to go back to the pictures original settings and start over. I searched help, but didn't find anything. How do I get the original raw image back?

Laura,
Just click on any history state below the top one, and your image will revert to where it was before. For example, let's say you first cropped your image, then adjusted exposure, then adjusted saturation, then adjusted clarity. Your history list would look like:
Clarity adj
Saturation adj
Exposure adj
Crop
Import
Click Import and your image will revert to the original state -- no edits. Click Exposure adj and the image will be cropped with exposure change, but no change to saturation or clarity. You can experiment and click any state and see where you are. However, if you click a state and then do an edit, all previous states above will be lost. In other words, if you click Exposure (in my example) and then make a Fill adjustment, the Saturation and Clarity adjustments will be lost. Of course you can do those again if you like.
