Hi There, I am using Lightroom CC 9.0. I am trying to convert B&W DNGs scanned using Silverfast 16 bit RAW and did the steps of updating Silverfast DNG and read metadata after importing the scanned negatives into Lightroom. I am trying to sync a setting (Brightness) across multiple photos. Whenever I have selected all of the photos I want to work with and click on sync settings, the changes don’t apply until I open the NLP popup using ctrl+alt+N. Any help? ---

Hi, was there a resolution to this? I have come across the same issue, intermittently. I am on OS X Catalina though, and use Vuescan DNGs. It’s a bit of pain having to go into each one individually just to get it to convert. Thanks! ---

… I use an old LR 6 and have the exact same problem. This ruins my usual workflow… too bad.
