Your RAW file will be in the same folder it was in before you worked on it. The program doesn't relocate your photos. The exported adjusted copy may be in the same folder as the original RAW file or in a different folder. You can use the setup options in the export to designate where the edited copy will be saved.

That's where that is! I was looking up in the upper menu options for a reset but it was down in the lower right corner...I had to click on the 3 dots to open up the menu!
Thanks!!

I use Luminar. Luminar does not change your RAW files. It is still in the folder that your originally put it. However, what Luminar does do, it saves the edits you made inside it catalog structure, when you open luminar they apply these edits the the image you are displaying, so that you can continue editing from the point you left off.
If you want to make a different edit of same RAW file make a copy of the RAW file in the folder it is located with a different name.

Non-destructive raw processors Luminar 4 and on1 never change the original image. They just create a metadata file with your changes. The thumbnail you see in the library is with the changes applied. As Larry said you need to duplicate the original if you want different versions in Luminar 4 or you can create different layers for each edit, turning off the previous ones. Unlike On1 , Luminar 4 doesn’t currently let you create a version to work on. It also doesn’t have a save as button.

You say that you saved the edited file to a different folder which is fine. What you are seeing in the film strip is the edited image which you can reset to the original is you wish because it hasn't saved except in your separate edited image folder
