Collection not handling a duplicated...

I wanted to have 2 versions of an image - 1 colour (color ;) ), one B%26amp;W. Created a duplicate image and took it into photoshop (as I like precise control over my color-B%26amp;W conversions) B%26amp;W image saved as a tif. So far, all fine. I can see both images in all views, keyword them, give them different titles etc etc - as far as I can tell, they are 2 separate images.



I can add one, or other, or both, to quick collections. BUT. When I tried to create an actual collection using the original colour image, the B%26amp;W turned up. Deleted it from the collection. Dragged the colour one in again, same problem. Created a quick collection with both versions, then tried dragging in the colour - wouldn't allow it as the ''image'' was already there (the B%26amp;W one!). Deleted the B%26amp;W out of the collection, dragged the colour in, the B%26amp;W showed up. Deleted it again, tried dragging in BOTH images. Only the B%26amp;W showed up.



I am planning on doing this a lot - converting images and retaining both versions for different purposes. Why can't ''Collections'' handle something so basic (when the rest of Lightroom seems to be able to)?

Do they have the same filename?

Kind of - one is called IMG_0398.JPG the other is IMG_0398.tif (the B%26amp;W)



The original is 1MB, the B%26amp;W is 14MB (I'm sure that isn't relevant btw, but they are definitely 2 different files)

Uh huh. LR 1.0 has this thing about identical file names with different extensions.



Try renaming one of them and see how it goes.

Try maybe IMG_0398BW.tif for the tiff.

Well that worked a little too easily - renamed the image in finder (OSX) and not only does it now work, Lightroom didn't loose track of the B%26amp;W version (that's a bit freaky).



Strange that everything else in Lightroom (except collections) didn't have a problem with the same filename (different extension). Oh well, hopefully something else that will be fixed in Lightroom 2



Thanks for the help btw! Much appreciated.
