For some reason the function to create a Virtual Copy is grayed out in the menu. I used this just yesterday without problem. What can be the reason?

Macbook Pro with M1, updated OS and lightroom classic.

Nope, not that. Photo is most definitely selected.

What happens if you press Ctrl-apostrophe ? Does that create a virtual copy?

I'm having the exact same issue! Working fine yesterday. Now 'create virtual copy' is greyed out. 

 

Please help. Since the upgrade to 14.0.1 there has been a few bug issues.

I have no problems creating a virtual copy in Lightroom Classic 14.0.1 on my Mac, so I agree with the answer @dj_paige has already given: most likely you simply do not have any photo selected.

I am having the same issue and my photo is 1000% selected. I am actively right clicking on the image to pull up the menu where "Create a virtual copy" is grayed out.

I had the same issue and optimized and restarted the catalog. When the catalog reopened I was able to create virtual copies again. Hope it works for you too!
