Very useful, Julieanne. The section on printing makes me want to ask if you could do a video on printing templates

[@jkost]

Can you see if the videos that I have on printing in this playlist cover what you're looking for? kzbin.info/aero/PLAlfP1JM134dLSpiHpkGX0u4HGF28iCtk

Thanks for this (and all other) interesting videos. One more question, is it possible to make a copy of multiple photos at the same time, for example to give them all a different crop? thanks for your response

[@kurtissutley1485]

Another great moment to start the day. Best advise (IMHO) was the reminder that deleting the original deletes the virtual copies. Question: Could we get permission to use your short tutorials as a "Kost Corner" beginning to our camera club?

Please feel free to share these videos with whomever could benefit.

I know it sounds silly in retrospect, but I had hoped to run just my virtual copy through an edit in Topaz Photo AI. Didn't work.

Its a pity you cannot add an image to a collection as a virtual copy rather than create the virtual copy first. This can only be done when you create a collection and add selection as virtual copies. However to add a another image VC you have to create the VC first.

Hi Steve, just to make sure that I understand, you'd like to be able to somehow check an option so that when you add a photo to a collection, it would automatically create a virtual copy and add the VC instead of the original, correct? Let me know if I've got it right and I'll forward your request to the product team. Thanks!

@@jkost As an example, I have a collection where I save versions of images that I use as wallpapers for my MacBook. This collection only contains VCs as I crop them to 16:10. As the collection already exists I have to create a VC then drag the VC into my Wallpaper Collection. It would be good if I could ,say, opt drag an image into a collection and it would only add a VC. I also create collections and edit images differently for books or external slideshows and these collections only contains VCs. Again the ability to quickly add another VC to these collections would be usefull.
