Question

Why does my history not show?

I created a virtual copy of an image I was editing, and the history on the original stopped showing.

I know it's there. I have the XMP file and, as I read it, it shows the changes I made. They just don't show up in the history panel. I have tried reimporting to   new folder with the XMP. No luck.

How do I get this back?

Thank you.

    History is not recorded in xmp.

    The only way to transfer edit history is to use the catalog, and not use xmp.

    Thanks. Where is it then?

    How do I do that?

    I have a backup from a week ago, but don't want to restore everything, just this photograph and its history. And why did it disappear anyway?

    The history didn't disappear, it was never in xmp. History doesn't get written to xmp.

    Open the backup catalog, select the one photo, then File->Export as Catalog.

    Open the current catalog, select File->Import from Another Catalog, select the catalog you just created.
