This should be easy but I need help.
How does one duplicate a photo file from within the Organizer?
I would like to edit the copy and leave the original untouched
Thanks. Jeff
There are several different workflows that allow you to save a copy of a file for editing. But first, go to Edit>Preferences>Saving Files and in the box for On First Save, choose Always Ask. I believe you will then always be asked to confirm whether you want to save a copy of the (edited) file whether you click the Save or Save As options under the File menu.

The Open button also has an option to save as a copy. If you choose this option, when you close the file, it will default to save as a jpeg copy of the raw file.
The bottom line is that it is extremely difficult to work on an original file and then overwrite it with the edits that have been made.
