Duplicate photos "1 of 2" and "2 of 2" in Lightroom Classic 9.1

Hello, folks

I've long had these weird duplicates on a lot of my photos in Lightroom Classic. Can't remember when they first showed up. Two thumbnails next to each other: "1 of 2" is of the processed image and "2 of 2" is of the original photograph. Haven't been THAT much of a problem.

Until I installed LensTagger and found that this extention can not edit these files. (I want to add the lens info to shots taken through my Sigma 50mm f/1.4 ART lens.)

Why does this problem exist?

The images are all in the cloud; can I delete them from the computer and re-sync them from the cloud? If so, I'm scared to delete them because I don't want to accidentally remove them from the cloud too. I'd like instructions.

 

Thank you

Joakim

    I used my iPad version of Lightroom and did it all manually; deleted all duplicates I could find, did I.

    It was surprisingly easy, I just kept my eyes open for photos that looked the same and I checked the Photo Information layered on the thumbnails to make sure they were indeed take at the same second.

    Thank you all for your help.

    I have not edited these images in Photoshop. But I can’t tell you why or when they stacked, it’s been some time.

    Sounds as if you have Virtual Copies, which are each in a stack with the respective master image. 

     

    LensTagger does not work with Virtual Copies because the idea is to write current metadata out to file, externally alter the lens metadata which is part of that, and then read the metadata back in. With a Virtual Copy you cannot do that. So if you want, you can "switch master and copy" such that your virtual version becomes the master version, which then can participate in LensTagger. 

     

    If you are not aware of Virtual Copies and/or are not aware of what Stacking is, I suggest it is worth finding out and becoming more in control of what is going on. E.g. the free Adobe instructional videos, or even just Lightroom Classic Help, are well worth some study IMO. One cannot necessarily assume that the same working concepts one is familiar with from using other software, will transfer the same into Lightroom Classic. A large part of its power comes precisely from NOT operating in the same manner, as typical software does.

    Hi Richard, I think I recognize your face from other replies I've seen!

    Thank you, I'll certainly look into Virtual Copies. I hope it answers any follow-up questions, or I might return.

    You'll know if they are virtual copies  by the title - it will say Copy 1, Copy 2 etc and also there  will be a page turn in the bottom left corner of the thumbnail.
