Question

unwanted virtual copies

Hello,

I wanted my assistant to write captions remotely. So I gave him my Adobe account and password to go on my web lightroom from his home.

All the captions arrived on my desktop Lrc, but on images called Copy 1. The original images stayed without captions.

So now I don't know how to merge them and get reed of those virtual copies.

 

Does someone know how to deal with this?

Thank you

Select both the original photo and the virtual copy, then choose 'Photo - Set Copy as Original'. After that you can delete the copy. Unfortunately, you cannot do this in batch. You'll have to do this one image at a time.

    Thank you Johan.

    Any clue why does this occur?

    No idea. I never use Lightroom web, but this may be as designed.
