I have a folder with 200 raw images, 147 from a single time-lapse. I have made edits to some of these images already. I wanted to make a subfolder and copy into it the 147 timelapse sequence images so I can make all the edits I want while keeping the original edits intact. I cannot create virtual copies because LRT and LR read/write metadata back and forth, so that would change my edits. What is the easiest way to do this?
I tried to use the “Create folder inside …” command. But LR moved (rather than copied) the files on disk to the new subfolder but I could still see the images in the original folder (from LR). If I edited the images in LR from either folder, the edits were reflected in the other folder. Bizarrely, there was no way to remove the image from one folder w/o also removing it from the other. So it was an odd hybrid between a move and a copy.
This got me all messed up, and I still don't know the best way to proceed.
Thanks
