Resetting C1 Default Styles vs Default Presets in Lightroom
Hi,
I am trying to learn C1 Pro as a Lightroom user. In Lightroom I could set a default preset in Develop module which I set using a film simulation for my Fuji camera (in this case Provia) with some basic settings such as clarity and vibrance, sharpening and a little bit of contrast, etc. That way, even if I don't specify a specific develop preset, all RAW images will be set with that preset. However, another nice thing with this in Lightroom that I could not find in C1 Pro is that if I reset all settings from an image by pressing CTRL-Shift-R I am back to my Default Preset settings.
In C1 Pro I try to emulate the workflow by setting a combination of Styles and Presets and set them as default for my camera. I use the Generic ICC Profile and set my preferred Sharpening, Noise Reduction, Clarity etc. But in C1 Pro, if I hit CTRL-R to reset, I am back at Generic V2 ICC profile and all my preset settings are all back to zero.
It seems that C1 Pro only apply the settings on new imports or when I created a new variant. But a reset for an image already in a catalog would be reset with a setting applied during initial import. Is this correct?
How can I tell C1 Pro to use my default style and presets doing reset? Is it possible at all?
Thanks.

Firstly I would consider making a Variant, with or without your existing preset values, if you are going to experiment. That would have the benefit of allowing you to make side by side on screen comparisons.
Secondly if you have your presets collected into a Style you can simply re-apply the style to a totally reset image and you are back to where you started. Of course if you go down the Variant route you would not need to do that and, subject to any other edits - crop, rotation and similar for example - you could just clone you starting variant once again and apply the style or cut and paste the edits from the first edit to a New (not cloned) variant.
The variant is only an edit entry in the image settings file so no great use of storage space.
HTH.
