Especially since you can also do things like restrict the metadata on individual VCs. Snapshots however, allow you to create what I like to regard as ‘internal’ VCs, which can also allow you to work more tidily with the History panel. Save a snapshot and clear history. Carry on working, create a new snapshot etc. Although VCs have dominated my workflow and replaced previous usages of Snapshots, there may well be potential for Snapshots to play a key role for localised editing. I have no idea if this will feature in a future version of Lightroom, but it would be cool if you could paint in Lightroom from a saved snapshot state.

If that is you Matthew, Great work you are doing on the TheTurningGate.net website!

Virtual Copies seem they would have a number of advantages over Snapshots, being that you can manipulate and view them in the Library module. Is there a reason to use Snapshots instead?
