Lightroom Tip - Using Snapshot to record a sequence of edits
Lightroom v1 has a powerful new feature called 'Snapshot' which allows you to save and re-apply a sequence of edits on any image. It's a bit like Photoshops' Action but far easier to use.
It can be found under the History Panel on the left hand side of Develop Module.
Snapshot Function in
Lightroom
It is used as follows:
- Perform a sequence of edits in the Develop Module which will be automatically recored in the History section.
- when you have finished right click on any one of the steps in the history list
- You will see the "Create Snapshot" indicator appear as shown below
- The snapshot is saved with the name of the action you highlighted and will be available under the Snapshot menu for use on any future image editing session
- You can then re-name the Snapshot to something more
meaningfull and use it on any future session.

This is not as powerful as
Actions in Photoshop, but it's not meant to be.
