P: Delete all edits/changes made to a group of photo with Masking (Batch Reset)

I am looking to select about 1,000 photos, all of which have edits, flags, ratings, and colors. I will be putting them into a new collection and I want to start over from scratch with these 1,000 photos. I have tried to select all of the photos in Develop Mode and "Clear History" but that doesn't do it.

 

How do I erase all of all of the edits made to each photo, and any flags, ratings, or colors to be removed?

 

I would prefer not to go one by one. Thank you!

Greetings all,

 

Updates for Adobe Photography products have been released.  The December updates have implemented this feature request.


If you do not see the update in your Creative Cloud Application, you can refresh it by hitting [Ctrl/Cmd]+[Alt/Opt]+[ R ].

Note: It may take up to 24 hours for your update to be available in your Creative Cloud app.

 

Thank you for your patience.

We all pay a lot of money to use Lightroom CC and have Adobe ignore the users

Highlight all of the images, turn on auto-sync, and click on the reset button. That will reset all images to the default setting that was applied when the images were imported. With all of the images still selected, press 0  to remove all Star ratings. Then you will have to go to the menu to choose "None" to remove all color labels.

In the Library Grid view, there is no Auto-sync, but you can still select all and do a develop reset in the Quick Develop panel.

And then change stars & color labels.
