How do I retain or access 2 export settings for a single image?

[JeffreyH]

I want to edit and export a series of color images, and then for the same library photos create B&W versions. How do I retain both the color and B&W settings for these images in my catalog and then how to I later access them individually if I want to make adjustments to them?

I figured out the answer to my own question - Virtual Copies. Pretty simple. And I guess if I want to go back to the original photo before any editing, then I should scroll to the beginning of the image Navigator to see that (?). Thank you!

Hi Jeffrey,

You're right, virtual copies are exactly the way to manage multiple treatments of the same photo.

If if you ever want to see the original "before" image, just go to the Develop module and press "\" to toggle before/after.
