Great job. I am learning LRC mostly from your beginner videos, and this was a great supplement to your first LRC introductory video where you mispell a word (I think it was the word "first" spelled as "frist"). Anyway, this was a veriy helpful video, it really clarified some things I found a bit confusing. Thanks again.
Hi Terry, thanks for helping me better understand and use Lightroom Classic. Here's a couple questions for you. Are Virtual Copies essentially duplicates? Can i print or send Virtual Copies? There could be situations where I develop different adjustments with one photo - can I "save" these copies and the original? Thanks for your time and help, Morgan
Hi Morgan, Virtual Copies are just like any other image. You can export, print, bring over into Photoshop, etc. This is a great way to try different ways to process an image and play around with features. The one cool thing, is VC's don't take up much space. They are essentially "instructions" to Lightroom on how to process an image. Not an additional image. You are not working on the original so no matter what you do, you can always go back to the beginning. Enjoy!
Terry Thanks for your great instructions. I seem to be doing something wrong? I want to print a virtual copy, but it saves the original. Do I need to sync? I would like to keep both copies. Also, can I just save as jpeg wo saving for email or dmg? Why can't i just save a full size jpeg ro print? I have a problem printer directly from LR. Do you have a video on that?
Thanks for an excellent video. I know how to go from Lightroom Classic to photoshop and back. But If I open an image and edit it in photoshop, without first using Lightroom Classic, how do I get imported into Lightroom classic?
Generally when you take an image out of LRC and into PS via the "Edit in Photoshop 2024" after you work on it and save it. It goes back to Lightroom Classic. Occasionally, you might do a "Save as" then note where you are saving it and just go back to that folder and import it. If you have don't import suspected duplicates checked on import, then it should be only file that shows in the import as the others (one's you have already imported) are grayed out. Hope this helps.
I don't edit video in LRC, I tried it once, and found it not super intuitive. I use Final Cut, so I don't know too much about the video capacities of LRC.
