How can I save different versions in Lightroom?
I am a brand-new user of Lightroom (just purchased this week), and I wonder
if someone on this group can offer a solution to what seems like a very simple problem -- but I haven't been able to find the solution. That is, I want to be able to locate pictures edited in Lightroom and later use them in other programs or email them. I simply can't find any record of these pictures. I can't find "save as" or anything similar. I did try renaming, but that simply renames the *original* image and does not save the edited version to a file. If I close and then reopen Lightroom, it does open to the last change, but every other program I have provides a way of "saving as" so that I can have multiple versions that are readily available through Explorer or other searches. Can anyone help? I did look into "export," but that seems to assume using a DVD. I simply want to save a copy to disk. (I am using Lightroom 1.1 and Vista Home Premium.) Thanks, MaryL |

(I am using Lightroom 1.1 and Vista Home Premium.) you just bought it and it's version 1.1?? at a minimum, you should update to 1.4.1, and maybe look at 2.0 beta. |

Thanks. I had located export, but it appeared (incorrectly) that it was only for burning to DVD. I just tried again and found that it really was saved to the location I selected, although Lightroom had created a sub-folder named "Lightroom Burned Exports." there are also lightroom plugins that can directly export to flickr and other photo sharing sites, without saving an interim file. (I am using Lightroom 1.1 and Vista Home Premium.) you just bought it and it's version 1.1?? at a minimum, you should update to 1.4.1, and maybe look at 2.0 beta. Yes, I bought it just this week from Academic Superstore (an online source for academic discounts). It never occurred to me that I might be buying an outdated version. Ironically, I bought Corel Wordperfect Office X4 at the same time, and that clearly is the newest version. Thanks, again. -- MaryL |

(All updates have been free so far, but there will be a charge to update to v2.0, which is currently in public beta.) There's also a pretty decent user to user forum you can register for both v 1 and the beta. -- John McWilliams |

I also bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 6, so I have my (learning) work cut out for me. MaryL |
