    Lightroom and stacks

    I'm having a hard time figuring out how to use stacks. If I export a group of photos to photomatix, which then exports them back to LR and stacks it with the original, I can see that there are two pics in the stack, but cannot view the second one. The only way I can is by choosing the second display icon, but I can't figure out how to see it for development. I've tried expanding the stack, but nothing seems to happen.

    Feel free to edit my images for critique, just let me know what you did.

    Me to. But if you have an iPad or iPhone they are some great podcast on the subject. I think there are videos at the Adobe site too. I just haven't taken the time to watch any.

    If I understand the question, the 'stack' is just layers, right? Just turn the appropriate layers on/off to see and work on the one you want. - Terry

    Re: Lightroom and stacks

    I have the same problem if I import the images and immediately send them to photomatix, or even if I edit and export them to a jpeg (I have LR set to automatically stack exports with the Raw file). However, once I have moved the image set to a folder and am no longer working in the Import virtual folder, I can unstack the images and see each one. Not sure if that is the situation you are dealing with, but thought it might be close.

    Re: Lightroom and stacks

    Sounds like it. I usually have to make sure to click on the "all images" (or whatever it is) tab in order to find the exported image.
