Terry,
What if you make a “virtual copy” of a PSD file and then open up that virtual copy of the PSD file in Photoshop then resave. Is it technically a new file and not a virtual at that point?
~Erick
If you open it in PS you’re either opening the original PSD or a COPY with the current LR settings applied.
Ok… so a “virtual copy” is ONLY a “virtual copy” if adjustments are made within LR. Is this correct?
A Virtual Copy is a “Virtual” copy.
Good video. Lots of people don’t know about virtual copies. I make them all of the time. One thing I use them for a lot is to adjust the intensity of my presets. I create a virtual copy, apply my preset to the copy open both the copy and the original in PS. Add the preset version as a new layer to the original then adjust opacity until I like the look.
Jason, you can save yourself a step by downloading a free plug-in called The Fader, which actually allows you to fade your presets to your heart’s content right from within Lightroom. http://www.knobroom.com/thefader/
Note: I have no connection at all with the developer, but it’s worked great for me.

Even better! Thanks!

Although I knew about making virtual copies I didn’t realise just how versatile they can be – thanks for a great video!
Valuable and useful video. Thanks!
