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.

Probably you have not selected a photo.

Nope, not that. Photo is most definitely selected.

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

Doesn't work.

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 given a possible answer, is that helpful in your case?

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.

This is most definitely not the issue, but thanks??

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!
