 A more permanent solution to have one photograph serve as the base image for several final versions is to //​duplicate//​ a photo. Like a snapshot, a "​duplicate"​ photo in Darktable is //not a literal copy// of the base image; Darktable just saves the filters you've applied to a photo and shows you another representation of the base image with those filters applied to it, as though it had made a copy. It's analogous to viewing one physical print through a red gel, and then through a blue gel, and then a yellow gel, and so on. The result is two versions of the same "​physical"​ computer file in Darktable (but not on your hard drive). A more permanent solution to have one photograph serve as the base image for several final versions is to //​duplicate//​ a photo.
