Worse, the new image file isn't added to the Collection. If I launch a plug-in from File > Edit In… the auto-stack happens in the Folder, not the Collection. The round-tripped image is stacked with my original in both the Collection and the Folder. Launching plug-ins from Photo > Edit In… give me my desired stacking behavior. However, what I've experienced is the auto-stacking is done in different places depending on how you launch the plug-in. round trips to external plug-ins. Lightroom will automatically stack an image edited with a plug-in - which is great. My Folders will just be a stream of images (there's only so much stacking a guy can do :). Long term, I will work in Collections not Folders, so that's where I'll spend the time organizing. My "workaround" is culling images in the Folder first (standard practice), create a Collection of the culled images, and do my stacking in the Collection. Especially since Lightroom modules are designed around the concept of a Collection. Stacks are disjoint.Īnother kicker is stacks created in Collections are not visible in Collection Sets. Create a stack in a Collection and they are only in the collection. But stacks in one container are entirely separate from another. If you create a stack in a Folder, it's not reflected in a Collection. I have found you can create stacks "localized" to whatever container they were created in. Lightroom stacks are a Folder-based concept. That created stacks in the folder where my photos were stored. I was very surprised when I created a Collection of all the photos, and the stack information was not in the Collection. After importing photos, I rebuild the stacks in the "Previous Import" group in the Catalog panel. I've gone to some trouble to do so (details in my free Migrating From Aperture To Lightroom book). As I migrate projects from Aperture into Lightroom, I am taking care to maintain my stacks (and associate images with "cooked" adjustments with their originals). Stack images in an album, they are also stacked in the project. If you stack images in a project, the stacks reflect in any albums or smart albums containing those images. Stacks are also handy to group an original image with a version edited in a plug-in.īoth Aperture and Lightroom support stacks. In Aperture, once a set of images are stacked they are stacked everywhere. I use stacks to focus my attention on the better shots and they help keep my collections less cluttered. what are stacks? Stacks group images into a set of (assumedly) related images. Lightroom is a different tool and I expect differences from Aperture. I'll just come out and say it. I'm trying hard not to be curmudgeonly about this.
