OK , LR is non destructive so you can get back to where you were .
Now 1st question is do you back up your LR cat on a regular basis? if the answer is YES then just find a LRcat backup thats recent but pre mess up and use that one - you can just double click the cat file and LR will start .
also are you writing changes to the XMP file or just to the LRcat . I will have to check but I think you would need to delete (or at least move away from you image folder) the XMP's otherwise LR will probably use the settings in the XMP as they are later .
(I dont use xmp but i think LR still keeps the edits in its cat file . I'll experiment in a little bit and come back )
if the answer is no , (then lesson learned . back up the cat file often . IE when LR exits ) . all is still not lost its just that this takes longer as your doing it on each image .
in the DEVELOP mode there is a HISTORY panel (left hand side) . each edit you made to that image is listed here . click the line in the History that is before the CHANGE happened .
from what your saying the change was probably a settings sync . bottom right of the develop mode is a SYNC settings button . if you have multiple images selected and click SYNC those images will take the settings of the master image .
there is a box that comes up before the changes are applied though , this allows yoiu to choose the edits you want or dont want with a series of TICK boxes .
