Duplicating photos?

[Brad Lawryk]

Is there a way or workflow for creating more than one version of a photo?

For example, I have an image I want to edit in two completely different ways. Say one as a colour correction and one as a Black and White.

Seems I can only do one?

Brad simply select a thumbnail in Lr CC and right-click and choose “make a copy”. Your duplicate will start syncing. You can go to the Edit panel and reduce saturation by pushing the slider fully left. The new B&W copy will sync. You now have the same file in color & B&W.

Yeah I did eventually find it. You need to be in the Desktop App. When I was first trying to do this I was in the browser version which doesn't give this option.

Yeah the Lr web app is like a mirror of what is stored in the cloud. But it has some cool tools for sharing albums or multiple albums and will generate a link. You can choose a cover pic, and segment rows and columns and add title s and text. Here is a link of one I made this week after a trip to the Surrey Hills.
