Check original image

[estima]

Hello,

Is there a way to quickly access the original image in AfterShot Pro? I find it useful to check the original image during the editing process.

Currently, the only way I know is not very practical: press CTR + SHIFT + R (reset image) and after checking I use Undo.

I find it strange that tere is no shortcut to this function.

Am I missing something?

You could use the history.
Or create a version for side by side comparison.

The problem with the history is that it is not kept between different machines. Example: edit an image in the laptop and then transfer the files to the PC and open them there. The history is gone.

The solution of using a second conversion using the defaults is not practical at all. It imples switching between two images which involves multiple clicks.

I find it strange that no one has this problem...

Thankfully yes, why would I want a gazillion editing steps to pollute the XMP file?

Why switch? Multiview, that is where the version comparison is most useful.

Because people have a different working style.
There is usually not much need to see the original. More important are intermediate steps in the process.

...you can simply use Ctrl+R for checking the original image and Ctrl+Z to make it then undone.
... this you can repaet s long as you want

as afx says,
creating a version, and toggle the [M] key for side by side comparison is very practical. Moreover, I think it's the safest method (who knows what may happen with your computer just before you hit Ctrl+Z).

So long.
