Reset Shortcut not Working

My Reset Settings shortcut has suddenly stopped working - anyone run into this?

Cmd-Opt-R (Mac)

I've restarted my computer twice - and no luck. I use this shortcut function all the time!

Correct answer Hal P Anderson

The [ Reset (Adobe) ] button usually only appears if you hold down the [Opt] key. [Alt] in Windows.

Are you sure you have the key press combination correct?

Some "Language" keyboard layouts are different. Do you have it set to "English"

Mac computers also can remap keys (something I know nothing about!)

Any 'sticky' keys malfunctioning in other programs?

Wouldn't it be simpler to click the mouse cursor on the [Reset] button? )

And there is a [Reset All] button in the Grid view 'Quick Develop' panel.


Actually, the Reset (Adobe) button appears when you hold down the shift key.

Perhaps the shortcut isn't working because some other process on the Mac has usurped it. I don't know enough about Macs to tell you how to solve that, but it might point you in the right direction.

You probably want Cmd+Shift+R.  (At least it's Ctrl+Shift+R  on Windows.)

Sorry - I really meant to write that Cmd+Shift+R is what I am doing. Just trying to reset all develop settings on an image to their original imported state, on an individual basis. See below for whats happening!

Cmd-Opt-R (Mac) is the "Refine Photos" keyboard shortcut in Lightroom.

What are you trying to Reset?  Photo Development, Catalog, Computer?

So when I hit Cmd+Shift+R .... the program "dings" and does nothing. But it does "flash" the typical Reset button on the bottom right of the screen... from Reset to Reset (Adobe). (as per below photo)

Thanks in advance for any insights!
