(Radial) filter duplicate without puting it in the same mask / New Version of LR

Hey guys,

I used Lightroom a while ago and was used to the possibiity, to duplicate the (radial in this case) Filter per Drag&Drop.
Now I updated it to the new version of LR and when I do this, the original filter and the duplicated one appear in the same mask. So both are getting changed, when I do adjustments.

How can I duplicate a filter (with drag&drop), so it will be free an individual 😉

I am looking for weeks now and can't find anything. Really annoying.

Maybe somebody can help me here?

Would be so cool....!

Greetings!

Besides the drag and drop method already given,

the three-dots menu next to each (parent) mask includes a Duplicate Mask option

While holding Opt / Alt, Drag the Radial Gradient to the Create New Mask button at the top of the masking panel. See the attached screen recording.

Good tip John.!

Yet I find (in Windows 10) -

1) Starting from a Radial Gradient [Mask 1]:

2) Holding down the [ALT] key and dragging the 'Radial Gradient 1' only achieves in renaming the "Mask 1" to become "Mask 2" (Mask 1 no longer exists!)

3) Holding down the [CTRL] key and dragging does duplicate the mask successfully. (In this particular test case the 'Copy' of existing [Mask 2] is named [Mask 1] -Veeerrry interrresting!

Thanks for the correction: Hold down Opt on Mac, Ctrl on Windows, while you drag the mask component to the Create New Mask button. (I've dropped a note to the Lightroom Queen about the mistake in the shortcuts cheat sheet.)
