Suppose I edited a photo in Lightroom mobile, how can I restore the original of the same photo in Lightroom desktop?

Hello @robertopagani55 ,

And if you're looking for restoring the original in Lr Desktop, the steps are:

- select an image you'd like to restore and select one of the edit tools on the right vertical panel e.g. Edit

- then select "..." (3-dot icon) on the right panel that has Reset Edits option

 

Best regards,

Elmira

Thanks Elmira. I did what you suggested. So I got back to the original.

Thanks again

Are you asking if it's possible to have one version showing on your iPhone, but a different version of the same image (e.g. the original) showing in the Lightroom desktop app? If so, the answer is no....whichever version is selected or created last is the version that will be shown in all connected apps.

 

However, if you are asking if you can revert an image to original is the desktop app after creating a version in the iPhone app, then yes you can (the "Original" version should always be available to select)....but as above, doing that would reset your view of the same image to original in all the other connected apps.
