Hi @George,
interested with projects, I found Workflow management with projects (scrolling down …)
“A photo that is assigned to several projects … If you want to apply different settings or corrections to the same image that belongs to several projects, you should make as many virtual copies of the photo as you need.”
What I understand, the projects contain sort of pointers/links to the originals.
- To check, I ‘copied’ a VC (1) already existing in the source folder to a new project and made there another ‘VC’ (2), which I changed to blue color.
- Going back to the source folder, it showed the Master (M), the first VC (1) and an additional blue VC (2) from the project.
- Erasing the blue VC (2) in the project didn’t touch the source folder with (M), VC (1) and blue VC (2).
- In the project I made a new (orange) VC, which now got #(3).
- Erasing this orange VC (3) in the source folder removed it simultaneously from the project.
The relevant information seems to be stored with the source folder – if as dop-file, in the database or both, I don’t know.
