Hit reset local adjustments by accident

I've been working on editing a photo for the last few hours. I when to click alt-reset local adjustments to see my before and after. I accidentally forgot to click the Alt-Key and all my adjustments are gone. Is there a way to get them back? I'm brand new to Capture one and really miss the history option that light room has. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Matt

  Matt,
  
  On Windows CTRL-Z will undo the last action - something similar on Mac - and potentially allow you to roll back but whether that will work for you now is an unknown. It may depend on what you have already tried to do. The roll back is all commands, not just edits.
  
  Have you got anything useful in the clipboard?
  
  I don't like the idea of a temporary reset when all that is required is to create a new variant and toggle between them. Or, on a long edit, clone the current variant from time to time and carry on working so that you always have an earlier point to go back to.
  
  My personal opinion is that multiple variants and being able to display them side by side or easily toggle between them if you want to see the differences in "overlay" is a very powerful solution.
  
  Good luck with finding a route to some recovery.
  
  Do you have any regular file backups running?

  Thanks Grant, The first thing I tried was CTRL-Z but that did not bring them back. I'm new to C1 and still trying to get acclimated to the product and trying to find a workflow that works for me. I'll have to start creating clones as backups while working.

  Hi Matt,
  
  The nature of the beast is that a "delete" (such as reset) that is actually performing multiple changes may, as the result of splitting the step into component parts, required multiple Ctrl-Z applications to step back through the process it applied.
  
  However it may simply have trashed the edits - or wastebasketed them somewhere obscure.
  
  FWIW In my experience and opinion C1 offers a lot of latitude for image development.
  
  When I started to use it - late V5 in may case - the forst thing that struck my was that compared to my previous other application (still one I like despite almost no development since 2009) C1 just seemed to "do stuff" that I had to work towards for most images using the other application.
  
  "Precision" was not longer so important. In fact lack or precision seemed to improve the visual end result in many images.
  
  It was not that it could note be achieved, rather that is became unnecessary.
  
  
  HTH.
  
  
  
  Grant

  One way of comparing before and after for local adjustments is just to deselect and select again the check box on the layer(s) in question.

  I do it in a way by unchecking layer check in layers. Which is fast and easy, but sometimes led to situation where you keep dragging unused layers from image to image by copy-pasting adjustments which include layers.
