Question

Photoshop randomly desaturated every layer on my project.

Been working on a painting in photoshop and accidently hit some key bind.

Every single layer became far more desaturated and darker. Had this issue months ago but cant remember what the bind is to switch everything back to what it was.


I have lost several hours of work due to this. The undo button wouldn't fix it.
Below is a small selection of the canvas which was changed.

What is the image’s current Color Space (and please don’t reply »RGB« because that’s a Color Mode)? 

In which Color Space do you usually work?

@GoldenJelly is it too late to use the history pallet?

Unfortunately too little information, no layer palette and no title bar visible.


Possible would be e.g. Proof Colors Ctrl+y (this can only be undone with the same command, but not with the Undo command)

What color space are you working in?
Can you please show a complete screen shot with all the necessary palettes and the title bar? And three more with the color settings and the expanded view menu and the history panel?
