Every now and then when I’m working on an image in Photoshop, I get off track. Confused. Don’t know where I’m going. Out in the high weeds with no way back.
And in a lot of the dialog boxes it’s hard to remember what the defaults were. (Like this curves dialog box). 
It’s easy to get yourself back. Hold down your Alt Key (Option on a Mac I think) and your Cancel button changes to a Reset button.
Click Reset and you’re back to square one.
And you didn’t need a lawnmower for those weeds!

That’s a good one! I know that but tend to forget it – I usually end up X-ing out the window and starting over. This is much faster!
