For better editing and comparison I think a "create a virtual copy" option would be very nice.

Snapshots was implemented in the form of the new Versions Feature found in the 2020 release.  Please see  https://theblog.adobe.com/june-photography-releases/ for details!

At this time a Virtual Copy analog remains unplanned.

This thread is marked "Planned" at the top. That is your indication. It should not be too long.

Come on adobe people have been asking for this feature for years now. Please give us some indication that you are at least working on this and the feature is actually coming. (Luminosity masks would be nice too but I’ll settle for virtual copies or just duplicates ...for now.

It is necessary to use Lightroom Classic to create virtual copies that sync back to Lightroom (cloudy) This has been a well supported feature request for at least 6 years.  Why is this simple enhancement suck a difficult thing to implement in Lightroom Cloudy?

Making a duplicate to do multiple edits would be ideal for Lightroom mobile

Crazy that this is still not a feature of LR mobile. Makes no sense.

As I continue do a bit more mobile photography and editing, the more necessary this feature becomes. It's amazing they haven't implemented it already...

Hey Adobe Team,

it would be great if we get the "duplicate photo" option in the next update for lr mobile apps.

often i need to edit the same shot in diffrent ways. this option is alrady on the desktop version, why not in the apps and in the browser version?

would be great to hear from you.
