Recently I upgraded to the latest virson of Lightroom CC 2015.12 and now i am unable to make virtual copies using the short cut comand apostraphy. I can only make copies when I go to the menue and do it manually each time. How do I fix it.

Also on export everytime i export an image it brings up the folder in the finder where it is going and I have to keep clicking on lightroom to get back there... its very time consuming. Please help with both issues . I am using a iMac running serrira

Thank you

    In which language are you running LR?  The shortcut for creating virtual copies varies by language:

    de: Cmd+t

    en: Cmd+'

    es: Shift+v

    fr: Cmd+'

    it: Shift+v

    ja: Cmd+y

    ko: Cmd+'

    nl: Cmd+'

    pt:Cmd+'

    sv: Shift+v

    zh_cn: Cmd+'

    zh_tw: Cmd+'

    (Cmd = Ctrl on Windows.)

    If in the last section at the bottom of the Export dialog, Post-Processing, you have selected Show in Finder, you may want to select Do Nothing instead.

    If you have a dual-language keyboard and it is not set to English (assuming English interface version of LR), that can interfere with shortcuts. Happens to me frequently.
