Virtual Copies Not Showing Up

So, going along and doing some editing by creating virtual copies and now new copies I make aren't showing up. It stopped doing that and now it's doing it again. I've accidentally made six virtual copies, then it stacked them together but wouldn't unstack when I right clicked. With this photo, I've created a virtual copy but in the grid it doesn't show up at all:
But other virtual copies from the other day do:
I have no idea why this happened. How do I get all my photos, including ALL virtual copies to show up in the grid? Unstacking is not an option:
I'm so confused. Thanks.

Nope, didn't undo afterwards.

>Are you in a collection when you create the virtual copy?
I was. I've done it before and no problem at all, my copies always show up. I feel really silly because I've just gone to All Photos and there are all my virtual copies. Do you know why they wouldn't show in the collection? And when I pop back and forth in collections/all photos, I lose my place. Is there a way to come back to the same place?
Thank you very much.

  • Virtual copies not visible

    Oh God, can some one PLEASE help me???I can't contact Adobe by phone,m too late and it says everyone else busy, try later...right. 
    I DID review as much as I could possibly read, and NOTHING is of help.
    1. Made virtual copies, count goes up, can't see them in grid in library, develop, or in loupe.  Thought they were stacked, but when I went to Photo>stacking> the rest is all grayed out...can't do anything.  "set as master copy" also grayed out,.  Read somewhere "preferences for lightroom might be corrupt"????   I tried to do the thing in the library to correct the preferences,:(on moubntain lion 10.8.3), but in the user file there is no library...so I then looked up how to find the hidden library, but I can't  find the stuff to do THAT!!!  And, there IS a library on my hard drive, but when I open THAT up, there isn't anything about preferences.
    I JUST bought this 2 mos ago--how can it have corrupt preferences when I only just started using it???--used it once, then discovered diddn't have right processor in old computer...bought a new computer...took several weeks to get (bought increased ram)...now I am just using for first time today.  Started importing, but they are all coming up missing photoi (when I had lightroomn installed on old computer, I deleted uit and pics), then reinstalled and it was migrated over to this new computer.  I looked up how to massive transfer missing photos and there is NO folder with a question mark, so I have to do hundreds and hundreds manually--can I tell you I am really hating LR4.4????? Right now I am hating photography and LR and I am beyond upset.  I got back from vacation a month ago, and STILL haven't been able to process my pics!!!
    Disgruntled King Tut's Mom---p.s.PLEEZ help be4 I have a nervous breakdown !!!

    thanks...very strange.  so first, I found a thread that said could have corrupt preferences...the short of it:  caslled Apple support--he showed me how topull out the hidden "library (it wasn't that easy as it was written on a webpage here).  I found LR preferences and they were corrupt--there was almost nothing in them.  Followed instructions on webpage here, and redid them and it looked QUITE different!
    Thwn by accident I discovered that if I click on ALL photographs, the virtual copies were there, but not in the 2013 folder specifically.  don't understand that.  I later closed out and restarted, and now they are everywhere they are supposed to be, so I think it was the corrupt prefderences.  Also, now the mouse is working on the actual photo again......VERY odd.
    However, I am afraid to download anymore pictures because of what has been happening...the question mark, then another box telling me the metadata has been changed by both LR and another application, and do I want LR to import settings from disk or overwrite disk setrtings with those from the catalog?  I have no idea what this means...what does it mean, disk?. or from catalog?  Does it mean there were these pics still somewhere else on my computer and LR is confused?  I sure am.  The drink sounds very good......
    CAN ANYONE HELP??

  • Virtual Copies not written to files?

    I have lightroom on both my office mac and my laptop. They both have their own catalogues but share the photo's other network.
    They both have "Automatically write changes to XMP" set. And I right click on the folder and synchronize when changing between comps.
    I seem to have run into a problem though. I used the create virtual copy function on the laptop to do some black and white version of some photo's. But coming back to my office comp, I've synchronized the folder but the virtual copies don't appear to have made the leap.
    Is this to be expected, a bug or a lack of foresight?

    Virtual Copies, Stacks and Collections are not exported to XMP.
    To share such you need to export a Catologue and import on the other machine. Since they share the actual images you can just export the folders or collecions you are working with that have change without the "negatives" and previews.
    THis will then share everything you have down nti just the normal stuff that gets exported to XMP.

  • Virtual Copies Not Working for Me

    Hello,
    I've installed Lightroom 1.0 and so far love it. But, I do have one issue. I cannot seem to create Virtual Copies.
    I select a photo in the Library grid, right-click it (I'm running Windows XP) and select "Create Virtual Copy."
    The grid's view remains the same (no new 'copy' of the picture with the little earmark appears) and on the Film Strip, I see a new gray box at the end of the strip, but no picture is in the gray box. If I click the gray box, nothing happens.
    If I try to create another virtual copy (of same photo or a different photo) the same behavior happens again (no change to the grid, and yet another gray empty placeholder where a new photo should appear).
    Am I creating virtual copies incorrectly? Is anyone else having this issue? I see nothing in knowledge base or Support DB about this.
    Thanks,
    Rodney

    Hi!
    Hmm, I played around a bit; this bug seems to have something to do with the Collection depth or wheter they were created with beta 4.1 or anything?!
    My steps:
    - I built a collection "Jockulator" in beta 4.1, created around 10 child collections with depth three.
    - With LR 1.0 I created "Jockulator / Zoo / H". When adding photos to this Collection, I do not see the virtual copies, like said above.
    - When I click "Jockulator / Zoo", same problem
    - When I click "Jockulator" (with 102 photos), I DO SEE the virtual copies!!
    - I have created then another collection with the same child depth, I have added photos and virtual copies to all dephts, aaaaand: it works.... in tears of joy or so I tried more ;-)
    - Some of the names of the "Jockulator" child collections had chars like " " and ":" in it which I remember to be difficult to handle sometimes. I tried renaming them, but the bug stays present.
    - Then I made a new child "Jockulator / 1-Zoo" (which is the first child alphabetically) and a child "H-85mm", and there....... it works!!!!
    So I don't know what the real bug is, but at least I know that it is not a immanent bug on my system, but that I can workaround it ... somehow...

  • Can not find virtual copies in Windows folder.

    I can not remember to have encountered this before, so here I go: I just created a virtual copy of some photos from my summer holiday, and all works well. But when I needed to access these photos going the Windows' way (Windows/My Pictures that is), the virtual copies do not appear in my YYYYMM folder. Going back to LR though, they will appear there with a /Copy 1 extension. RIghtclicking the VC, then "Show in Explorer" will highlight the original in the folder, the VC still not being there. Part of the frustration is that I can not remember this happening before (or maybe it has), so I'm wondering if I by accident have changed any settings.
    Running LR 4.1 on Windows 7 64-bit.
    Thanks in advance.

    My only point, was an observation that there is very little actual practical difference between a virtual copy and a "master" ANYWAY.
    So you have 1 master (an actual raw) and 10 VC’s. What happens to the VC’s if the master gets corrupted?
    If your master has say Adobe Standard as the DNG Profile but the VC has a custom DNG profile, what happens to the VC if that profie goes missing or gets corrupted? Try it.
    If by "master", you mean the Raw file on disk, then if that is corrupted (something I have never yet experienced IIRC; although I still backup against this possibility) then certainly, all images derived from that will suffer. However adding VCs does not increase the absolute risk of that. The way I was using "master", was to refer to the one LR metadata set which, unlike a VC metadata set, currently asserts a functional link to the source file. If that LR metadata set were to get corrupted, (something I have never yet experienced either IIRC, although I still backup against that possibility too) then I might be glad of a VC which I could immediately promote to that role and status instead.
    Certainly bad things may happen to a VC if a required external file is lost or changed - but these are exactly the same bad things, as if the exact same events had happened for the "master" version alongside. I do take the point that there is protection in redundancy - no question - and also that instantly written-out metadata is a useful separate backup of one's work (as I mentioned, I'd be glad if VCs could get the same thing too somehow, someday).
    One-to-many dependency on a single source file can make some good things happen too,though, which may be judged worth any potential added risks. Say deliberate changes are newly made to a Photoshop edit on which several LR image versions are based. These updates will ripple through all virtual versions automatically; whereas if these versions had instead been fully independent, the same changes would need to be made repeatedly to get the same result; assuming one wants all these versions to reflect the changes; which is (should be; needs to be) the realistic expectation, when one has opted to use a cluster of VCs in the first place.

  • Virtual copy in a smart collection does not show up in that collection

    LR5; When I make a virtual copy in a smart collection it does not show up in that collection but in the original folder...
    All of the metadata and custom fields are identical....

    The screenshot was very helpful.  The problem is with the Custom 05 custom metadata field.  Which plugin defined that?
    It appears that smart collections don't properly search the custom metadata fields of virtual copies.    I filed a bug report in the official Adobe feedback forum: Lightroom: Smart collections don't correctly search custom metadata fields.
    You could work around this by using a filter preset in the Library Filter bar.  Perhaps not as convenient, but it would get the job done.

  • Virtual copies are not synchronized in a second Lightroom catalogue although metadata are written in XMP and synchronization with metadata was selected

    Dear community,
    I operate one Mac with Lightroom 5.7 that is configured to store all metadata in xmp files. The Lightroom catalogue is stored locally on the Mac and only contains references to the images and their xmp files that are stored on a network device. There is another Mac with the same configuration having a separate local Lightroom catalogue and access to the same images on the network device.
    At a starting point, both Lightroom catalogues are identical - they refer to the same images on the network device and contain the same metadata.
    When I update image properties on the first Mac, these changes are reflected in the xmp file. After using the option "synchronize" with activated "metadata synchronization" on the second Mac, the modified image properties are visible on the second Mac. This is fine.
    However, when I create a virtual copy on the first Mac, I realize that the corresponding xmp file gets updated. However, even after synchronization, the virtual copy is not visible on the second Mac. I may modify image properties of the original image and get these modifications replicated to the second Mac, but the virtual copies remain on the first Mac.
    What needs to be done that also virtual copies get synchronized?
    Thank you very mich for your support.
    Best regards,
    Peter

    I do not doubt that File Export / File Import will work to transfer the virtual copies.
    My question was related to the fact whether the imported folder should not previously exist on the second Mac.
    Consider the following situation:
    time = 0:
    first Mac: folder A is in a first status
    second Mac: folder A is in a first status
    time = 1:
    first Mac: folder A is in a second status, export folder A in second status
    second Mac: folder A is in a first status, import folder A in second status
    My question is: What happens with these two folder A on the second Mac? Does folder A in the Lightroom catalogue of the second Mac gets overwritten? Do I receive an error message because folder A is already present in the Lightroom catalogue?
    I understand your answer that everything will be fine on the second Mac if there is no folder A at all at the second Mac while I import the new folder A. Under this assumption, I can import folder A and it will show the second status. Clearly.
    My question is only related to the fact that there is already a folder A on the second Mac, with the same images, but with different metadata and/or virtual copies.

  • Published virtual copies show up in Grid View of Collection

    I'm a bit frustrated at something that has only recently begun happening to me.  I am using Lightroom 3.  I'll have a collection that I will publish to flickr.  when I do, I later look at the collection and it'll not only show my photos, but also a virtual copy that is published to flickr.  I don't want that.  It's not necessary to see and I didn't have to see them before.  If I want to see what is published, I can go to the published collection and look.  On my local collection, I don't want to see virtual copies unless they were virtual copies that I purposely made for some reason.  I don't want Lighroom to be automatically creating a duplicate of every image that I publish to flickr.

    The screenshot was very helpful.  The problem is with the Custom 05 custom metadata field.  Which plugin defined that?

  • How to make copies/duplicates of photos in LR4 - NOT Virtual Copies

    Can someone tell me if there is a SIMPLE way to make a copy or duplicate of a photo in LR4. In otherwords, you have a photo image in one folder and you want to make a copy and move it to another folder or subfolder and that copy is identical in EVERY aspect to the original photo and can be edited, manipulated, etc. without affecting the original. I can find nothing on this subject - all I keep getting is this VIRTUAL COPY which is NOT like the original and cannot be moved without the original (Master) going along with it. What's the problem? Every image program I know of can do this. BTW this in on a Mac Lion (10.8.4). Thank you, Brad

    new location - do not rename
    Or same (or different) location, and do rename.
    I do this regularly, but only for testing purposes. Note: Some people don't want to use virtual copies, because they are handled as "2nd class citizens" by Lightroom (e.g. not saved in xmp, and must tag along with master base copy...).
    That said, I agree that care should be taken when having multiple (real) copies of same file, especially if they have the same filename (which I don't recommend, unless you really know what you are doing, and why...).

  • EMC Does Not Show All Databases Copies Information on DAG - Exchange 2010 SP2

    Hi guys,
    Really need your help here, suddenly my customer complain that they cant see any information on database copies on their Active Copy DAG Exchange server, for another DAG members, the database copies information is visible. After do some readings, I found
    this related to Exchange 2010 SP1 known issue.

    But, for my environment, there is Exchange 2010 SP2. I have no idea on this issue since there is no error log thrown out from the event viewer. I already try to restart the server itself and the Microsoft Information services but no luck.

    Hi,
    Based on the description, your customers could see passive database copy information, but they couldn’t view the detail information such as state: Healthy in EMC.
    When did this issue begin?
    Please restart the AD topology service to check result.
    Since we have the information correctly on Exchange shell, please try to clear EMC cache and then open console to check if you can see database copy in EMC.

  • Virtual Cluster Does Not Show Up In Compressor

    I have a clean install of Leopard and FCS2. All the updates completed and everything is running beautifully except that the Virtual Cluster I setup in Qmaster does not show up in Compressor as an option when submitting. The virtual cluster with 4 instances establishes itself and indicates that all services as 'Idle". The QuickCluster has the same name as the computer under "sharing" even though sharing is turned off. Services are seet as "Shared" not "Managed". Unfortunately, in Compressor the only option available is to render with "This computer". Any suggestions? Thanks, Jim

    HI James, just quick suggestion from the airport lounge in Changi Singapore....
    step1: using the usual procedure of RESETTING everything (compressor back ground tasks and system prefs/qmaster, option+click start (reset) and then *purging stuff for /var/spool/qmaste*r.... via the finder or trusty rm command.
    *step 2:* that you use use QMASTER ADMINISTRATOR to create a cluster of controller and service node on your mac (*not a quick cluste*r).
    Check that it is correctly established and 'APPLY' is.
    TRy adding a batch to copressor and see if the new cluster appears and that you have the number of instances utilising the cores you specified.
    lots of stuff on this forum on this.. just search

  • Decimal Places is not showing in Qty field in COPA report

    Hi,
    I have made a COPA report using one form that I have made it through TC:KE34.

    What I am observing in report, the qty is  not showing the decimal places for exmaple 6.032 MT but it gets round over to 6 MT.
    I want the system should show the 3 decimal places for the Sales Qty.
    How to do resolve this.

    Hi Ajay,
    No this is somthing new you mentioned. I havent tried to change the number format after executing the report.
    Please let me know how to do that. I am using Object ALV to display the report and I am not getting any option in the menus to change the number format.
    Also I noticed one thing, In other output format like drill down report its coming correctly , only in Object ALV output format its showing the rounded values.
    Please let me know the path.

  • Virtual Copies did not import with images

    I imported a large group of images from last October and 14 of them had virtual copies created from them, mainly the final copies of images I was using. When imported into a new catalog I created in Lightroom 4 beta, only the raw files came over, not the virtual copies. I do notice that they have all been updated to the 2012 process and I did not tell it to do that. Could this be the problem and do I need to remove and reimport them? This could be a big problem for me as I really like to use Virtual Copies. Thanks for your help.

    Virtual copies are kept only in the Catalogue. They won't be in the xmp data of the master files. They will, however be in the converted catalogue that you'll get when you start using the release version of LR4.
    The other problem (all 2012 process version) seems like it was probably caused by your not writing out the metadata into your master files while they were part of your LR3 catalogue. You might need to do that in LR3 and re-import in LR4.
    Note: it's a bad idea to use the same master files in each catalogue. Make copies and import those in LR4. Much safer.

  • Virtual Copies - I'm not sure I understand what they do for me.

    I'm trying to use collections and virtual copies. What good do they do, if I can't crop each virtual copy to a different size?
    I'm using the original raw file to create the new collection and virtual copy. I assumed that the flexibility of this tool was to enable me to "finish" images in different ways.
    I'd thought that I could crop abc.nef to both 5x7 and 8x10. Add them to their respective collection and then export that collection for the finish work in Photoshop. This doesn't seem to be the case.
    Am I expecting something that isn't in the product?
    Thanks!
    Kittie

    That is more or less what I did. One Raw, two VCs. Raw untouched, Each VC with a different crop and each with a different develop preset. All remained different on Export.
    If a VC is made of a VC it will copy the settings of that VC. If you want to change the setting sof this VC (of a VC) you need to rest it first, so it is like the original raw.
