Exact Lightroom Version: Classic 7.1
At the last update both versions of Lightroom got an enhanced "Auto" button in the Develop/Edit sections. Before that, most seemed to agreed that it didn't work very well. Now it seems that it might be better and even useful.
The description of the "enhancement" from Adobe is worth reading:
"Start your edits with Auto, which uses Adobe Sensei to intelligently apply adjustments based on a photo’s light and color characteristics. Adobe's Auto feature now uses advanced machine learning to automatically apply the best edits for these slider controls in your photos: Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, Whites, Blacks, Saturation, and Vibrance.
The underlying neural nets have been trained with thousands of professionally shot and manually edited photos to evaluate and correct an image, just like a skilled human photographer."
I've started trying the button to set a starting point in Classic CC one photo at a time. It works better than I want to admit!
I started to wonder what would happen if I applied it to every RAW in import! It can be done. I made a preset with only the Auto box and Sharpening boxes selected. I went out and shot a dozen images and imported them with my new preset applied. To my surprise, it actually worked!
If you are a Lightroom Classic CC user, try it and post how it works for you. Curiosity is killing me!
