remove edits through history panel?

I need to remove some edits can i remove them using the history panel. I have tried every way i can think of but didn't work.

If i use the undo it removes some edits i want to keep. Thanks

Remove them by adjusting the sliders.

Think of the History panel as simply a log recording what you've done.

I don't think i can do it by adjusting the sliders because I'm not sure what and where they were previously. I'm not proficient in LR.

is there any other way to remove them? thanks

As John said, you remove edits using the sliders. For most sliders, set the slider back to zero. If that's too much of a step, then see what happens if you set it to some other number. (You could find the edit in the History Panel, if for example you set the exposure from 0.5 to 0.75, then the history panel will show "Exposure 0.25 0.75" this tells you to that you set the slider at 0.75 from 0.5).

THANK YOU!

this is a screen print of the history panel (Highlighted)  sharpening +40   65  is the left column previous and the right column the current change? Is that correct?

[dj_paige]

it means you changed the sharpening by +40 to 65, so it was at 25 before you made the change.

THANKS ) I sorry this makes me sound really dumb, but

i just need to subtract  the left column from the right column to get where it needs to go?

the one above it if i subtract +19 from 19 it 0's out correct?

the +12 from 31 means i moved it 9 correct?

That's right

If you want to undo a sequence of changes, for example, you want to go back to the edited condition when you did the Export at 3/27/16 12:15:16PM, just click on that line in the history panel. This only works on a sequence, it won't work if you want to individually undo certain non-consecutive steps.

If you want to restore a specific control to it's "default setting" double-click on the slider name (WB, Exposure, Contrast, etc.). You can also reset all the controls in a specific group by clicking on its name (Tone, Presence, Point Curve, Hue, Saturation, etc.).
