OKay so, that may not be the clearest subject line ever but I am struggling to shorten this issue down to one sentence…..

Before I get started I know there is a manual workaround for this, but as I am all about workflow in Photoshop anything that interrupts it cost money… And I like to avoid that!

Here is what I am trying to do…

Take one raw file, make a copy, and have two different sets of RAW setting applied to them, which can then be placed on my droplet to generate contrast and sharpening.

Problem: Anytime I make an adjustment to one or other of the RAW settings for a given file, it makes the same adjustments to both, even though they have different file names….

I know I can do this manually by opening the files twice having saved the image with the first RAW recipe as a .psd andf then open the raw file again and apply the second required recipe, but as I say this is way too clumsy…. What am I missing here, is there an issue copying the sidecar file which carries the RAW settings???

Any Help much appreciated

Cheers

Johnny
