As many you asked, how do I view original<\/strong> and edit in Lightroom<\/strong>? To activate this view, select \u201cBefore\/After Top\/Bottom\u201d from the Before & After tool or press [Alt + Y] on Windows or [Option + Y] on Mac. This will display your original image on top and your edited version on the bottom.<\/p>\n Subsequently, how do I switch to original in Lightroom? Tim’s Quick Answer: You can indeed reset to the original<\/strong> version of a raw capture in Lightroom<\/strong> Classic by clicking the Reset button at the bottom of the right panel in the Develop module. If you want to preserve the edited version of the image you can create a virtual copy before using the reset option.<\/p>\n You asked, how do I see<\/strong> before and after in Lightroom 2020? Well, there’s a quick keyboard shortcut that’ll do just that. Just hit the backslash key (). Press it once and you’ll see the Before image (with no Lightroom changes \u2013 except cropping). Then press it again and you’ll see your current After image.<\/p>\n Beside above, how do I see<\/strong> before and after back in Lightroom<\/strong>? To view the before and after of a photo in Lightroom, make sure you’re in the Develop Module and press Y on your keyboard to toggle the side-by-side before and after view. To view the before image by itself in Lightroom, press the key instead.#3 File Settings Original allows you to create a copy of the original source file in Lightroom, but your edits won’t be applied.<\/p>\n Lightroom does not make changes to the original file. It stores the actions of each edit in the LR catalog. When you Export an image to, say a JPEG, LR performs each of those actions, creating a new file, in this case a JPEG. It never alters the original.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Photo editing is an experimental process. To undo changes you’ve made to your image, tap the undo icon. Tap and hold to reveal the redo icon. To fully reset an image to its original state, tap Reset at the end of the adjustment menu.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n With the photos selected, press Shift-Cmd-R or Shift-Ctrl-R to Reset the photos’ Develop settings. (In the Library module, the Reset command is under the Photo > Develop Settings menu.) Be careful when resetting; it will remove any adjustments you’ve made to the selected photos.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Compare photos in the Compare view In the Grid view or the Filmstrip, select two photos and then do one of the following: Click the Compare View icon in the toolbar. Choose View > Compare.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n You might use the File >> Duplicate command to open the original version and use the ‘floating windows’ option in the preferences to display both versions side by side.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n I generally use (hold alt + click on the eye icon of the original layer) to see before and after.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n I get this questions more than you might think, and it’s actually an easy answer: It’s because we’re using different versions of Lightroom, but both of them are current, up-to-date versions of Lightroom. Both share many of the same features, and the main difference between the two is how your images are stored.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Under File Settings, set the Image Format to JPEG and put the Quality Slider at 100 to maintain the highest quality. The Color Space Lightroom export setting for print should be sRGB, and \u201cLimit File Size\u201d should not be checked.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Library Module \u2013 Library Menu \u2013 NEW SMART COLLECTION (you can put it into regular Collections list OR inside a Collection SET as shown) \u2013 Choose search criteria: Change Rating to DATE \u2013 EDIT DATE \u2013 IS WITHIN LAST x# days \u2013 SAVE.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Note: Working with Lightroom on your mobile devices? See Import photos in Lightroom for mobile (Android) and Import photos in Lightroom for mobile (iOS). Lightroom makes a copy of the photos imported and uploads your full resolution original photos to the cloud.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Lightroom saves the merged image as a 32-bit DNG file, with the suffix -HDR appended to the file name, and takes you back to the module where you started. From there you can edit the image as normal in the Develop module.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nDoes Lightroom edit the original file?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
