Digital Light & Color

Is there a key shortcut that would allow to open a transformation dialog box, but resetting and adjustments previously made back to default? Alt-click preserves the preview zoom. I vaguely recall that in PWP7 there was a way of doing it, but I can't figure out how to do that now.

The only way is to use Reset on the Settings Menu. This puts everything back the way it was when the transformation started up. To restore the settings from the last time you used the transformation, use Ctrl-R. PWP 7 was the other way around where it normally restored the previous settings unless you held down a key to start up with the defaults.

I can explain why I'm asking. I'm doing a 'batch by hand' - i.e. I start with Multiple Open, do some adjustments along the way, then advance to the next image and repeat. Between Warp, Level, Crop and Levels and Colour, some images need one or two of them, some a different set. For each new image, the previous adjustments are sticky even if I don't need them. So I either have to bypass some transformations or go to each one I don't need and reset it. I was thinking of some way of starting the workflow anew for each next image just like it could be done for several transformations in an actual automated batch.

Just use the shortcuts f5 to reset and then f1 to proceed

Cheers for that! It still requires opening the transformation. The way I figured is the simplest and the fastest (the way I'm proceeding with it) is bypassing/unbypassing the transformations that I don't need - this way I don't have to open them.
