IMPROVE PHOTOS AND AUTOMATIC NEXT SELECTION
Good morning, I'm Luca  and I use the Lightroom Classic license. I wanted to ask a question. Since I formatted my PC and reinstalled the Adobe package, I had a previous setting but unfortunately now it works the other way around. In practice!!! I click on a photo and I IMPROVE the photo with the button and the appropriate option, when it creates the second image at the end of the process, the photo that the program improved remains selected and the original raw one is deselected. I need the original ones to remain selected at the same time because I can delete them in a second, otherwise I have to select them and find them one by one. Before the formatting, it worked that the created and improved images were not selected, the originals remained selected. Is there another procedure that I can restore to be able to do this?
I hope I was clear. Thanks

The only thing I can think is that somehow you are creating a virtual copy, otherwise LrC does not create a "second image at the end of the process". A virtual copy has a "folded corner" indicator at the bottom left of one of the images, like shown here: https://www.picturecorrect.com/how-to-use-virtual-copies-in-lightroom/ Is this what you see?

 

If that's not what you are seeing, then show us a screen capture of the two images. Please use the "Insert Photos" icon to include your screen capture in your reply.
