How do I convert a processed image back to its original RAW

I work with designers who like to see a processed, edited DNG, but then they need to go back to the original RAW and re-crop, change color balance etc. depending on the job. How can they do that in Photoshop?!
Thanks!

In camera raw, if you press Q you can get a split screen to see a before after. If you look at the bottom right of the image you will see some icons those you can click to alter the preview. If you look to the right of the bar for each tab on right side of dialog box is a small icon, there you can choose custom, image, default, etc. Which allows you to click back and forth between the views. Finally holding down the alt or opt key will change the cancel button at the bottom to a reset button.

How do I restore an image back to its original form?

Is Aperture 3 supposed to be non-destructive? If so, how do I restore an image back to its original form? I'm out of undo's and I need to get rid of some stuff.

You have a few choices here
1. The "m" key will show you the master image without adjustments, not remove them;
2. Right click an image and using the contextual menu, select reset all adjustments, removes them;
3. Same menu, create new version, allows you to have multiple versions each with unique adjustments, B&W, cropping etc.

How do I convert a process color back to spot?

I have a file submitted to me that has been mangled by another designer. A PANTONE named spot color has been changed to a process color in the Swatches panel. When I try to change it back to "spot", a pop up window appears to say "Cannot edit this color property".
Are there any suggestions to get this to spot?
I've gone through the placed EPS/AI/PDF files to make sure that the named color in those are truly the spot color and not a process color.
I'm using ID CS 5.5.

Add the proper spot color and delete the process one.
You’ll be prompted to replace objects with the process color. Choose the spot.

How do i change an iMovie file back to its original form?

I have recently made a project on iMovie for my Duke Of Edinburgh challenge. I was trying it out and it was working. But when i tried putting on to youtube, the site told me that it must be a different form i.e. .MOV. so i went and changed it from .rcproject to .MOV and then posted it to youtube. I then deleted it from youtube to try to edit it a bit more; but my laptop went flat. Once I turned my computer back on, I tried opening the project, but it still is not opening. What do I do? Please help me, this project is due in for tomorrow!

How do I reboot my Macbook Pro back to its original factory settings on all fronts

I am finishing college and want to wipe my Macbook Clean, delete everything and start over, any one have some helping solutions?

Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

My ipod is somehow synced to another library, because I plugged the charger to a wall. How can I sync my ipod shuffle back to the original Itunes library without erasing my current data in the Ipod shuffle?

",the owner sold the ipod without clearing the songs and since the songs were not puchased from the itunes store then i believe i now own the songs"
Not true at all.
It does not matter where the songs came from, they are not yours and the previous owner does not own the right to distribute them to others.
The law is the same with downloads and cds and any other medium.

You can download everything you purchased from the iTunes Store without having to pay again:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Here is the procedure for your reference, using iTunes 10.7. The procedure and screenshots for newer versions are contained in the above link.
This assumes what you purchased is still available in the Store.
Open iTunes and click on iTunes Store on the left
On the right you will see this
Sign in with your Apple ID, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.

In IPhoto or IPad, when I edit a photo in an existing album, the photo is removed and placed in a new album with only edited photos. How do I keep it in or get it back to its original album?

When using IPhoto for IPad, can I move photos from one album to another? For instance, when I edit a photo in an existing album, the photo is removed and placed in a new album with other edited photos. How do I keep it in or move it back to its original album?

That will depend on the kind of album your photo is in.
Most albums in iPhoto are created automatic by the way you are using and editing your photos, see: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/1.1/#blnkb9b1e2a
When you edit your photo, the edited copy is added to the automatic "edited" album and the view switches to he edited album. But the photo should stay in its original album - do you see something different? Only if you want the edited photo in the camera roll and the photo strea as well, you have to save the edited copy to the camera roll again after editing, otherwise the camera roll will show the original and not the edted version.

I have Lightroom 5 on my iMac with OS X 10.9.5. I have lost all my (10,500 pics) "developed" settings. Every picture went back to its original setting. How can I restore? Please help. Thanks, GY

Thank you for your questions/advice. The answer for your 1st question is yes, and "may be" to your 2nd question. Fortunately, I had exported the recently developed photos into my external head drive. After reverting back to the original catalog, I have re-imported those developed photos. Now everything is restored. I need to learn more about the subtleties in using the Lightroom.
Thanks again,

How to restore a 3TB imac fusion drive back to its original state?

I bought a 27"imac with a 3TB fusion drive which stopped working. Ended up having to boot from the internet and since my HD stopped working and wasn't being found by disk utility I erased it using Disk Utility an re-installed OS X. Did OSX automatically get installed in the 128gb SSD drive (under disk util i only see one macintosh hard drive with another one under its first branch but there is no separate ssd drive)?
Also, since then my imac's hard drive haven't stopped making a constant cranking noise as if it's working non-stop (unless the computer goes into sleep mode). Is this normal? Anything I can do to bring it back to its original state?

The problem is that I bought my computer in the US and brought it with me to my home in Brazil and over here it's going to take a long time to get it fixed or repair/replace parts if it's necessary. Any other procedure I can try on my own before throwing the towel and taking it in?
Thanks

My computer has reverted back to its original state!! Help!!!

I was using my computer and went to log into ichat, it acted like I had never logged into the program before, asking me to enter my screen name and password. I then went to go into mail and it did the same thing asking for my email address and outgoing mail servers. I decided to shut down my computer and when I logged back on, the my background image disapeared and the dock had reverted back to its original state. All my other programs do not recognize my previous preferences and my keychain is nowhere to be found in my applications menu. My documents and saved pictures, along with my itunes music is still intact, but the rest of my computer is reverted.
Is there any way to fix this and get my computer back to my personal settings? How do I get my keychain back?
I really need help!!

Read and fully understand the advice found there before proceeding.

How do I restore my 2011 MacBook Air to its original settings?

How do I restore my 2011 MacBook Air to its original settings for resale? When I do the cmd R and go through the process, it begins the restore process for Mountain Lion because I upgraded to Mountain Liion on this machine a few months ago. And it's asking for my Apple ID. If I do that upgrade, the buyer will have a version of Mountain Lion that is associated with my Apple ID and that won't work. Also, isn't there licensing issues in such a case? I want to restore the MacBook Air to its original factory settings when I purchased it in April of 2011. At that time it was Lion and not Mountian Lion. And I don't want any software on this computer to be associated with my Apple ID.
Thanks for all your help.
Ron

Press Command, Option and R keys on boot, open Disk Utility, erase your disk and reinstall Lion
