Hello! I am trying to work with the Color Checker Passport plugin in LR with 360 DNG images but it crashes everytime I try, an "unknown error" message appears and nothing is done. Has everyone solved this or tried an alternative way? Thanks

You are using the X-rite plug-in to build a custom DCP (DNG) camera profile, right? If so, why are you selecting 360 DNGs? It isn't designed for that. 

Can you explain what you're trying to do with the plug-in?

Yes, I am using the plug-in to do that. I am selecting just one DNG after joining 9 multi bracketed DNGs. Of course the DNG I am trying to apply DCP needs exposure editing since it's darker. But this is not the point, the problem is that plug-in crashes

You only need to select ONE properly exposed DNG to build the profile. 

Does it crash if you pick just one?
