Problem Creating Stacks In Lightroom 4

[michael8765]

I started using LR4 about a month ago. Since that time I can't create stacks. Any comments or suggestions?

Could you perhaps give us a bit more information, i.e. how exactly you are trying to do the stacking, and what happens when you try?

Hi Jim.....Thanks for your kind reply to my question and please excuse the delay in my response. The way I'm trying to stack is this: first I select the group of images that I want to stack, then I click on Ctrl G. So far, using this method (and trying the same thing through the Menu) I am unable to stack any images. Any thoughts?

So what exactly happens when you try to stack? If it can't be done, I would expect Lightroom to give you an error message.....for example if you tried to stack images that aren't all in the same folder you would get an error message telling you exactly that. So do you get an error?

Strangely enough, no error message comes up, nothing happens on the screen at all!! Am I missing something? Isn't the group of images I select supposed to stack behind one image thus reducing the number of images that I see.

Are you selecting the images via the Filmstrip instead of the Grid view perhaps?

On the Mac it's Command-G, not Control-G. Could that be it?

When you stack images, the stack doesn't automatically collapse. When you stack them and hour the mouse over one of them does it show 1 of 3, 2 of 3 etc. If so right click on one and select collapse stack and see what happens.
