Unable to revert to original imported photo

  • August 6, 2017

I'm using Lightroom CC 2015.12 Camera Raw 9.12

When I clear history it also removes the import step & I can not revert to my original image. I do not have a 'revert' option listed under File tab either (seems like I use to have this, but I can't remember for sure).

I'd appreciate any help so I can return to editing photos.

    In the lower right-hand corner of the develop module there is a reset button that will reset the image to the default settings that are applied when the image is imported.

    I can't find where to start a new thread for my problem so I hope this is okay.  I used to be able to revert to original photo after I'd done some editing and then changed my mind and wanted to go back to the original.  This is in the Windows Live Photo Gallary.  But now (and I don't know how this happened), it will only let me click on the "settings" button which is of no help to me.  It won't let me revert back to my original photo.  I realize I can "start over" and make a copy of the original that I have stored in a file folder, but this was so much simpler.  How do I get the default off of settings and back to "revert to original."  Thanks.

    Your question needs clarification!

    Are you using Lightroom-Classic (Desktop)?

    Where is the "Settings" button you are referring to?

    What has Windows Live Photo Gallery to do with this question?

    Have you tried the 'Correct answer' given in this thread?

    Or do you need to [Reset] a photo in Lightroom and then Export a new copy that does not show any editing?

    Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .
