Use Auto Tone

The Auto Tone feature in Lightroom Classic utilizes an AI/ML model trained to adjust slider values automatically, enhancing images based on their content.

This feature identifies elements within the image and adjusts those characteristics (like exposure, contrast, highlights, saturation, and more) to achieve striking photo results.

In this example, we automatically adjusted the photo using the Auto Tone API. An image of an island in the sea with Auto Tone applied, before and after

How it works

Auto Tone analyzes the content of your image and automatically adjusts the following slider values:

Exposure
Contrast
Highlights
Shadows
Whites
Blacks
Saturation
Vibrance

The adjustments are made using an AI/ML model that has been trained to enhance images based on their specific content and characteristics.
