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

+1 here as well. I have wanted to have this a couple times. Had to resort to losing edits 😞

This another feature missing from LR Mobile that makes it incomplete. It's a huge part of my workflow on the desktop (Classic). I know this feature request is 4 years old but I figured another voice wouldn't hurt.

Virtual Copies would be a huge help! I like to have multiple versions of a photo with different looks and edits.

Yes, it’s essential in a program that’s mobile. I use on the way a lot and I can’t do more than one color effect on the same photo.
Please include this feature.
Thanks.

I am doing almost all of my photo processing in Lightroom Mobile, quite often not using the desktop version at all. I am frustrated that I cannot duplicate an image in LR mobile so I can make both black and white and color versions of the same file. Copying to other collections does not work and for the life of me I cannot find any duplicate or virtual copy functionality in LR mobile. We need a way to non-destructively 'explore' where we want to take an image, and sometimes depending on where we share our work, both B&W versions of the same file are needed. Can we add the virtual copy functionality to LR mobile or at lease a 'duplicate' function or perhaps 'isolated collections'. It's seriously limiting not to be able to do both color and black and white versions.

Thanks!
