Question

Creating virtual copies not working

When I try to create a virtual copy on Lr Classic 14.2 (Command ') it just says it will sync the image to LR when syncing is enabled.  Doesn't create a virtual copy.  And if I go to the menu the function is greyed out.  

What is happening?  I need to be able to create virtual copies.  

 

Help appreciated - thank you

Are you in a folder that is offline? I can only think of the possibility that the folder your image is in is on a disk that is not currently mounted. Otherwise it should work anywhere.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.  I worked it out - it was my error.  I was making the virtual copies of a photo that was in a smart collection and the copies weren't going into the smart collection but into the main library.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
