Can i recrop in LR3 without losing processing ?

[mikeyw]

Hi,

I've processed some images for a client but they are wanting some other (larger) crop sizes doing - is this possible without losing my processing ?

I realise i can go back to when i made the crop but was wondering if i could then re-add the processing ?

I guess a better technique is probably to process the image fully then crop at the end (on a close crop though it's easier to process for me when i'm working with the finished crop)

TIA,
Mike.

Right click the image and select create duplicate (sorry can't remember the exact wording). Then whatever you do to this new image does not affect the old one. Any cropping will be based on the latest incarnation of the duplicate.

yes - go back and recrop it in LR - the rest of the processing wont change

As above. Just crop the image as usual. When click the crop tool you will see the original crop which you can adjust.

Or, do as cowasaki says and create a virtual copy and then crop the copy, that way you have both versions of the photo. (Virtual copies do not take up any more disk space)
