I have 10 images selected, and first one is way I like it.  Stumped from there. In the past, I think there was an apply buttom?  Now I right click and get goofy copy from  soemthing text, and then click, done, nothing happens. Thanks!

With  the 10 images on the filmstrip- This is my method:

1)  Edit one image and Copy settings [Ctrl+C]

2) [Ctrl+A] to select all on the filmstrip.

3) [Ctrl+V] to Paste settings

Or the three-dot icon [...] provides a menu-

New issue: While I see the changes on my computer to the 10 jpegs I lightened with ACR. If I dropbox them to someone else, those images still look very dark.

ACR alone will not change the image file that you might "dropbox".

You must either 'Save' the edited image from ACR,  (icon with the down arrow-)

or continue to 'Open' it in Photoshop and save a derivative file from Ps.

thanks Rob, what does that all mean?  if I change everything in ACR, then I'm assuming it knows I want all images saved with my changes..?

Got it Rob, actually now even easier than before I think.. as long as you select all first,  and then do an adjustment on any, I think it then applies it to all right away right? And did not do that in years past.

Done: writes the parametric instructions you've made. Dismisses ACR. 

Open: Does this but renders the image with those edits. 
Note, what images you select when using Open plays a role of course. 

Move your cursor over each button (one seen below) for more details.

Thanks Dog,  but still lost.  I have 10 selected, how tell ACR to apply what I did on first one to all 10?
