Quick tip 21 – Revert original features

In this Photoshop quick tip series you will learn how to revert back to the original features of your image/file.

When you make lot of modifications to your image, you will sometimes need to revert back to the original features. Of course you can use undo, but this only has a certain number of undo slots. So if need to undo a lot of changes then this is not possible. You can the history panel as well, but this also has the same problem. Although you can increase the number of history slots from the Photoshop preferences.

To revert back to the original settings you select File > Revert or F12 on the keyboard. When you select this option, all the changes you had made to this file will get removed and will return to its original settings.
