Two identical images different format show as 1 image in the catalogue

Hello:

 

I have inside a Lightroom folder 2 images, they are identical but one is JPG and the other one Tiff. But inside the folder only one thumbnail is shown with on the upper right part TIF+JPEG text. I don't want that. I want that the 2 images are shown separately . I have not found where I can activate that option. Anybody knows?

 

Thank you

 

Cristian

This is a bug that occurs when you do not check the option to show jpeg files next to raw files as separate photos in the preferences. Even though the tiff file is obviously not a raw file, the jpeg is still used as a sidecar file. Check the option in the preferences, then use 'Synchronize Folder' to import the jpeg as separate file for existing images (new imports will now be correct from the start).

    Thank you. Did as you said and now it works. One of the files is still labeled as Tiff+ Jpg, the other one as Jpg. Now I can work with both again. Thanks.
