Restore the Wasabi settings for the current session to their starting values.
Quick Tips
Settings preview over the current media, so colour, viewport, overlay, and visual changes can be judged before saving.
Settings saved for This Content take priority over settings saved for This Directory.
Wasabi colour filters, shaders, and overlays are kept separately from Pickles assets.
