we will learn how to use Snapshots and Virtual Copies to leverage the variety and save multiple versions of the same image in Lightroom. Unlike saving a preset, snapshots in lightroom allow you to save a different set of edits for the same image. Suppose you are editing a photo and after a while, you want to experiment black and white with it. At the same time, you want to save the color version edit in case black and white doesn't look impressive and you might want to go back. In this case, snapshots help you the save a particular set of edits for the same image. So that, whenever you open the image, all your different styles of edit will load up provided that you save it. Or, suppose you spent hours and hours editing a photo, and you are a bit satisfied but f you're like me, you would want to experiment with the image. Now, you don't want to take the risk of messing up all the previous settings. Also, you don't want to dump everything in your presets panel. In this case, too, you can use snapshots to save that set of settings and move ahead. Now, suppose you want to create different versions of the same image and export them separately and want Lightroom to show as if there were two images. You must use Virtual Copy. This is not exactly a duplicate. You still have that one image in your memory, but two different versions of it will show up in Library Module of your Lightroom catalog and you can edit and export them separately as if there were two images

Hi Unmesh, is there a way of creating an actual duplicate image in Lightroom? My purpose would be to have the original kept in its original folder, but I would like a duplicate copy of the same image in a different folder for manipulation purposes without having to do it in Photoshop then have to sync Lightroom to find it. I understand that a snapshot and virtual copies are not real actual images; so how can I make them real files in Lightroom? Your help would be much appreciated as I have tried everything I know. Kind Regards Helena

Because the database can be corrupted, which would mean that we COULD lose our virtual copy and all the work involved, my understanding is that best practice might be to save ie. export the virtual copy. What are your thoughts and what would you recommend as the file format, given that there's already a DNG with that file name.

Unmesh, nice video, but I'm still experiencing challenges with copying edits from one image to multiple images when using Lightroom for the Cloud (Lr! There are no Library or Develop tabs in this version. How can I accomplish the copy edit setting in this version?

You only had to shoo a bird. Try shooing your own cute fluffy keyboard warming kitty while editing. She just don't budge. The worst is when I'm meticulously editing and she head bumps my mouse hand and I get this big crazy line across my photo. :)

Nice tutorial. But my question is: Why create a snapshot first? I can create a virtual copy directly and develop it.
