Your Library module allows you to view the Metadata of your images, add comments, and set up the keywords for your selected photos. Over and above that, is the Quick Develop panel. This lets you do some fairly simple, but powerful, batch editing to your photo library. You have control over White Balance and the various aspects of Tone Control. At the bottom of the list, you will see the Clarity and Vibrance controls. Now, if you hold the Alt key on your keyboard, those options will change to Sharpening and Saturation. This extra little addition, means you are less likely to have to head over to the Develop module to make any additional edits.

We're sure there any many artists and photographers who have been working on an image and decide that they need to reset a panel to its default zeroed-out state. Each slider can be reset manually by double-clicking it, but what happens if you have made substantial edits, using the HSL panel, in each of the Hue, Saturation, Luminance, and Colour sections? That's a lot of sliders to double-click to reset to default. Then there are all the other panels as well, so you would be forgiven for planting you face in your palm at the prospect. Luckily, there is a super-simple solution. Simply hold down the Alt key again and you will see a Reset option appear for each setting. Click once to reset each setting.
