Duplicating picture files

When a picture is to be provided with a variety of picture effects or an image variant to be created in your external image editing program, it may be helpful to produce a duplicate.

    1. In the Media Pool, right-click the corresponding picture and select Duplicate file...

    2. In the following file dialog click on Save, to save the file. To distinguish it from the other one, a "_2" is automatically added to its file name. Following this, the duplicate appears next to the original image in the light box or, when the images are displayed in a list, at the end of the list. In the list you can quickly find it by sorting the images according to file name and insert date. See Sorting contents.
