I'd like to make an unedited copy of a photo that I have edited. I know that edits are undoable but I'd like to keep the currently edited photo and start from scratch using a different edit process, on an original unedited copy. I didn't make a virtual copy prior to making the edits. The question, is it possible to now make an unedited copy? Thanks Rick

Make a Virtual Copy. Then simply reset either the VC to do fresh edits on, or the original (and keep the VC as the edited, but you won't then retain the History Steps).

Paul, thanks for responding. I have looked for a solution for photostock long time.

It feels so good when you find a solution for the thing you've struggled with for a long time. I googled it, and I got some results with endless articles that were completely useless. Every stupid article was about how you should try a few things, but there is never a guarantee that it will work. I hate when stuff like that happens...
Forums are a much better place to look for solutions for problems like this. I will know what to do when I face a similar problem in the future.
