Hello, just picked up NLP after not using for a long time and hit a very odd issue. This has been touched on in other comments by my issue seems different.
Scanned film as RAW files as per guide.
Imported to Lightroom and followed Update Vuescan/Silverfast DNGs process and profile is saying Negative Lab v2.3 - pakon.
Converted the files.
When I go back into the plug in, the edit tab is greyed out. I read that this could be due to the negs not being converted but they clearly are as they look good.
If I re-convert them, the colours are way off but it does let me into the edit tab.
screenshots attached.
The only way around seems to be to re-convert all of them, then unconvert them and finally convert them again.
Hmm, it sounds like the NLP metadata is missing (which is what tells NLP that the image is converted and what the settings are). This could happen if you’ve moved the folder location, by chance, or moved to a new computer without exporting all the photos into a Lightroom library.
If you like the way they are processed currently and want to edit further, your best bet would be to right-click the file and select “Export > NLP - Positive Copy - JPEG”, and then edit the positive copy directly in Lightroom.
This could be an issue of the image analysis picking up some of the non-film portions… try increasing the border-buffer, or cropping in more before conversion and see if that improves things.
