So far, we have only looked at using the “Edit in” option from the popup menu to launch a Nik editor. Once you have made all your changes, click the “Save All” button to save the changes and return to Lightroom. If you decide you want to go back to an earlier image in the group, click the Previous button. Simply apply your adjustments to the first image and then click the Next button. You can use these buttons to move through the images you’re editing in sequence. Next and Previous buttons when editing multiple images from Lightroom using the Nik Plugins Using image stacking in Lightroom it’s possible to group multiple related images together as shown here. One Lightroom feature that can help you better manage your new image files is image stacking. This happens each time you select to edit a photo unless you select the “Edit Original” option mentioned above. If you’ve been using the Nik Collection in Lightroom for some time you may already be frustrated by the number of versions of an image file produced. The upside though is that it reduces the number of versions of an image produced. This runs the risk of wasting a lot of editing time if you find you want to go back to change something. The third option in the dialog is to “Edit Original” where you will edit the original image. Think of it as a type of history and insurance. Retaining multiple versions of your image allows you to return to a previous point in the editing without needing to process everything from the start. This preserves the “original” image file, and if you intend to use several Nik Collection filters, this can be useful. The copy passes to the Nik Collection plugin for editing. The “Edit a Copy” will produce an exact copy of the image. The other two options in the dialog become available when we’re editing an image file like a TIFF or JPEG. When the conversion takes place, the “Copy File Options” control the file that’s produced and passed to the Nik Collection plugin. Therefore, we’re forced to use the option “Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments”. Instead, it will convert the RAW file to an image (in the TIFF, PSD or JPEG format) and apply any adjustments you have made. Image editing software like Lightroom will never edit a RAW file directly. This happens when the file you’re editing is a RAW file. If you look back to the screenshot of the Edit Photo dialog you will see that only one of the options is available.
