I am trying to process Infrared photos. I am using lightroom 6. My problem is I can,t get lightroom to sync to DNG Profile Editor. I converted the photos to dng files and they open up in Lightroom ok. This is were my problems start. How do I get Lightroom sync to DNG Profile Editor. Also I can lower the white balance to -100 in Profile Editor but I can,t the two to talk to each other. I have converted a camera and its taking photos ok. I am now stopped with Lightroom and Photoshop.

Advise would be appreciated.

    You Don't AFAIK. The Profile Editor is a standalone program that you need to open and then load a DNG file into.
