How To Reset Back To The Default Photoshop Settings

There are times when you may accidentally change some of the Photoshop settings and then can't quite figure out how to change them back. Or perhaps you work on a shared computer and the users before you tweak the settings often. When this happens, you may want to reset back to the default settings. Here's how:

1. Launch the Photoshop application and immediately hold down the CTRL+ALT+SHIFT (Windows) or COMMAND+OPTION+SHIFT (Mac) keys.
2. Click Yes when you are prompted with the message that asks "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings File".

When your Photoshop application initializes, it should now have reverted back to the default settings.
