Preventing Stacking in Lightroom

[Matthias387435223s7d]

Hello,

I want to disable stacking in Lightroom. But I can't find a way to do it.

Can anyone help me?

Regards

Matthias

For images that have been edited externally (e.g. Photoshop) you can disable auto stacking in the 'External Editing' panel of preferences as shown in attached screenshot. 

For merged images such as pano and hdr you disable stacking in the relevant panel.

If above is not waht you're looking for then please provide example.

Hello Ian,

Thank you very much. That was exactly what I was looking for.
No idea why I missed it.

Greetings and thanks.

Hi,
Unfortunately, I was celebrating too soon. The checkbox is no longer checked, but the files returned from PureRaw 4 are still stacked.

Best regards

I know next to nothing about PureRaw. So, can't offer any help on whether it has an auto stack preference. In the past,  it certainly had some irritating behaviour re collections.

Back to LrC. You should check that the LrC Library > Stacking option for Auto Stacking by capture time hasn't been enabled.

"The checkbox is no longer checked, but the files returned from PureRaw 4 are still stacked."

The stacking is performed by the Pureraw plugin -- you'll have to contact Dxo to request a feature to stop the stacking. But Dxo support recently brushed off another user's request for modifying the stacking behavior:

Hello,

After reading the other thread, I see the same issue with DXO.

Thanks for the tip.

Try contacting Dxo and describe the issue you're having.  Suggest that they at least include a user option in the export dialog to disable stacking in LrC.

Hello,

I've submitted a corresponding improvement to DXO. We'll see what they say.

Best regards
