How the heck do I undo this?

I did something while in Library that caused about 16 pictures to get converted to black and white.  I need to get them back to color.

If I select one, and go to develop, and hit Ctrl-Z, it undoes the select, and a different picture appears.  I can't get it to undo the

convert to Black and White (which does show up as the top item in the history stack).

    You may have hit the V key by accident, as that's the shortcut for toggling B&W.

    Ctrl-Z undoes anything and everything, including switching modules, selecting photos, etc... So, after making a mistake, just keep hitting Ctrl-Z until it finally undoes the mistake (don't switch modules or select photos...)

    If you goof and exit Lightroom before undoing, you'll have to use something like ScrewAutoSync.
