Title: Lr3 to Lr4 Catalogue Conversion - Copies Created
Post by: RFPhotography on March 08, 2012, 01:06:27 pm

I've imported everything from my Lr3 catalogue to Lr4.  Since I was already working with Lr4 beta, some images were already in the Lr4 catalogue.  I now the original and a copy of images that were in both catalogues.  Is there a simple way to delete all the copy images without having to select them all individually?

Thanks.

Go to All Photographs. Then reveal the filmstrip, and click the little badge for VCs.

Do you not use VCs for anything else? If not, select all and delete.

I do use VCs but will create on an as needed basis.  Don't want them for all images.

I don't see a 'badge' for Virtual Copies.

Bob, sorry, my mistake. Reveal the Library Filter - "\" is the shortcut - and go to Attribute. On the far right you'll see three little badges and the middle one is VCs.

Ah ha.  I didn't realise (obviously) that there was a filter for VCs.  Got it now.  Thanks!
