P: Allow batch auto-level (not transform!)

We need batch auto straighten / auto level.. or some kind of sync option that doesn't just copy the same angle to all of the images. We can sync transform adjustments- why not auto level? And no- for my purposes- I do not want to use upright or level transforms. The warp the image. I just want to rotated the image by the 0.39 degrees or whatever without my subject matter being turned into parallelograms. Thanks in advance!

Commenting to say that I’m a private editor and in desperate need of this quick key. We do not use the transform tool as it wraps and warps the original canvas image size.

Doing Transform > Level with Constrain Crop produces the same result as Crop > Auto.  Here’s an example showing the image, Crop > Auto, and Transform > Level:

 

To copy Transform > Level to a batch of photos, recomputing the leveling angle for each photo, select just Upright Mode:

 

You can save those settings as a preset, selecting just Upright Mode, and the preset will recompute the leveling angle for each photo separately.

Transform > Level normally levels the image by rotation and no other geometric transform, similar to the Crop tool's Auto. For example, original photo:

Crop > Auto:

Transform > Level:

No warping.

 

Do you have an example of Transform > Level producing different results from Crop > Auto?
