For better editing and comparison I think a "create a virtual copy" option would be very nice.

An absolute "must-have" feature.

New to LR CC mobile. Impressed by UI design and app itself. Though ability to duplicate a photo seems to quite basic.

Three years later... Still a future feature. Such a valued feature on desktop, so easy to implement. I could sub for Premium version just for this. Come on developers! Make it happen...

I'm looking at Affinity Photo as my alternative.
What's the point of voting when the features clearly aren't being delivered, but the money taken?

The point of the "Subscription Model" (beyond giving the company a lot more money in the long-run) is that the user sees progressive advancements along the way.
I'm seeing money leaving my account, but no progressive enhancements.
What, exactly, am I paying for when fundamental (and rudimentary) features, requested MORE THAN A YEAR AGO (and in some cases even further back in time than that) have no sign of ever materialising?

It's just not good enough. How many more years will the subscription money leave the bank before something as simple as the ability to create virtual copies arrives? Let alone HDR, Panorama Stitching, and all the other fundamentals already found in the Desktop version?

I'm not willing to wait until thousands have left my bank balance.

I'm sure Adobe has a large prioritized list of LR Desktop features to add to LR Mobile. 

How about adding your vote at the top right of the original post.

Any idea what tools you will be using? I’m thinking about doing the same. The price is just too high for a non pro use...

Here we are again. Another basic feature, requested for the mobile version over a YEAR ago, and still no sign of it on the horizon.

Adobe clearly aren't listening to us users. It's time for me to go elsewhere. I've decided I won't be renewing my membership. The mobile version, which SHOUD be the most useful to me given that I take my iPad Pro to every shoot, while my larger (heavier) laptop stays at home, is missing so many fundamental features. In this day and age, it's simply not acceptable to say "use the desktop version to do that."
Mobile devices are now the norm. Adobe is now too far behind to realistically compete. I've given up waiting, I've given up hoping, I've given up trying to work around absurd limitations.

It would be great to be able to create virtual copies so that I could offer clients multiple edits of a photo. For instance a colour and a B&W version. Right now in Lightroom CC there is no way to create a duplicate copy of a photo.
