WHY & HOW - Multiple Versions of an Image in Lightroom

In this tutorial, I demonstrate two ways to create multiple versions of the same image in Lightroom. I also explain why one might want to consider doing this in the first place.

Thank you!

Another 'Didn't Know about that" Your an encyclopaedia of information. Thanks again for another gem

[warrengh]

I read your YouTube header and think 'I know how to do that' but when I watch video Anthony always seem to teach me something I didn't know, amazing. Thank you once again.

[andrewcarmichael]

Brilliant! It’s snapshots for me from now on.

[michellamontagne]

Thanks Anthony. Exactly what I wanted to know and more 😊.

[thomaslavery]

Another great tutorial, Mr Photographer. Thank you

[Kevin_YouTube]

How can anyone give this a thumbs down? It’s a great video that explains in a very clear and simple way how to creat multiple versions of an image. Many thanks Anthony. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[kevsart]

I did not know this, Thank you for this great tutorial

[harrykitch]

Very helpful, especially on snapshots. Thanks!

[NorCal-yeti]

I liked, now commenting, thanks Ant!

[rlfisher]

I frequently forget that snapshots are available. I am used to making virtual copies, stepping back in the history, and so forth. Good examples, you sold me!

Hi Anthony

I really love this video tutorial you really introduced one of the white rooms great features.

Thanks Anthony, I never knew about snapshots! I would love to see you do a video on the pros and cons of smart objects in Photoshop. I don’t really understand them. Thank you!

[Peter-ioxs]

How do you figure all this stuff out? Great tips

[HansvanMeteren]

Thank you, Anthony, I really appreciate your videos. I think I will use snapshots most of the time. One disadvantage, though: you cannot see which images have snapshots without opening them. In that respect, VC's are preferable

[chrisschindler]

Once again great video! But the thing that I was hoping to get answered actually wasn't in the video. Often I edit photos on my iPhone with mobile Lightroom. It has "versions". I know my photos get synced with PC Lightroom and I thought this would be the way I could find my other versions. I thought I had the eureka moment but sadly clicking "snapshot" didn't reveal my mobile created versions on the photo synced to Lightroom. I guess I have to keep searching.

[acraftman]

Hmmm, I mistakenly thought this was going to be multiple versions how you got them all over your library and how to get ride of them, maybe next time:). Thanks for posting, I think the VC method seems actually a little less involved imo. Have a great weekend.

Hey Anthony what if you wanted to have a version with no boats (clone them out in Photoshop) and one version with boats? Thank you

[raymondkosos]

I like having this multiple versions ability; thanks for this video! Question: are Lightroom snapshots saved once you close your session? I'll test this but it seems I remember from Photoshop that once you close out Photoshop, the snapshots are 'gone' (as they are temporary); wondering if Lightroom behavior is same/different?

[tomcardrick]

Is it possible to export multiple versions of the snapshot at once?
