- A client gave me a couple hundred photos to organize and process, but rather than scan each photo individually I scanned 3 at a time, creating 1/3 as many images to import into Lr.
- for reference, I will call the 8x10 jpg created during the scan "master".
- I want to create 3 images from the one master; by making 3 VC's.
- Here's how I thought it would go: In Develop mode
- Press R
- select one of the 3 photos on the Master
- press Ctrl-' to create "Copy 1"
- without changing the crop
- Place the cursor inside the crop area and drag the Master image so that the next photo on the Master is inside the crop outline
- press Ctrl-' to create Copy 2
- to keep it simple let's say I only want to create a VC of 2 photos in the Master, not all 3.
- Press R
- Here's how I thought it would go: In Develop mode
- The result I get follow
- two copies of "copy 1":
- "copy 2" is the first image I cropped,
- Draggin the Master to the second photo and hitting Ctrl-' just made another copy of the first phone.
- "copy 2" is the first image I cropped,
- In "Library" mode the Master shows Copy 2 highlighted
- If I press Ctrl-' I get another copy, "copy 3"
- I end up with copy 1 and 2 being the first photo I cropped and copy 3 being what I thought was going to be copy 2.
- two copies of "copy 1":
- How do I force Lr to create VC's from the Master image, without leaving the Master image?
- Is there a way to do this without copy 2 being a duplicate of copy 1?
