Apply new lightroom edits

Adjust values in the Lightroom Edit Panel programmatically.

The Apply Edits endpoint allows you to programmatically control the same adjustments you would make manually in the Lightroom Edit Panel. This gives you fine-grained control over values like:

Exposure controls: Adjust overall brightness and tonal values.
Color adjustments: Modify saturation, vibrance, and white balance.
Detail enhancement: Control sharpness, texture, and clarity.
Noise reduction: Manage both luminance and color noise.
Creative effects: Apply vignetting and dehaze adjustments.
