The easiest way to do this is to select multiple images, and then from the Quick Develop panel, press the Auto Button in the Tone Control section.
There are multiple ways to apply auto settings in the Library module. To apply this preset to multiple images at once, you’ll need to go to the Library module. You can, however, save the “Auto” option as part of a preset, so one workaround is to save the settings from your first image, then switch to the next and apply the preset, and so on. This too just uses the actual slider positions when applying the previous setting. Note that the previous button, will also not work. If you do a sync, or if you have auto sync turned on, you won’t be syncing the AI-based analysis and automatic settings, but instead, you will sync whatever it applies to the first image. There are a few ways to do it, but they require a little work to find.įirst of all, if you are in the develop module, and you apply "automatic" to an image, and you then try to sync your settings across multiple images, there’s no option in the sync box to apply the automatic settings. At first, I thought you would just use the synchronisation button at the bottom of the develop module, but it turns out, it’s not that straightforward. However, after I had talked about that a reader sent me an interesting question: “How do you sync this auto option across multiple images?”. If you haven’t seen it already, Lightroom now uses artificial intelligence when applying its automatic settings, and it’s much improved over the previous incarnation. I recently wrote about and made a video demonstrating Lightroom’s new AI-based automatic settings.
