develop/auto

[pantelisc24963498]

In the "Develop" module, when I use "Auto", it also affects "Presence" (Clarity, Vibrance and Saturation),  something that did not happen before. What happened?

This is a new feature of Lightroom classic CC 7.1

As stated, new feature!

Here is another site directly from Adobe with information: New features summary for the October 2017 and later releases of Lightroom Classic CC

If you aren't a fan of this, you might consider creating some presets that will work for you!

The updated Auto Develop introduced in 2017 is a big improvement on the previous Auto results; except for one thing. To my eye it consistently oversaturates images. Would it be possible to set, in Preferences, what the Auto button does and does not adjust? Then I could de-select Vibrance and Saturation. Currently I use a pre-set to return Vibrance and Saturation to neutral but not touching them in the first place would be preferable. I believe there are regional variations around the world for how saturated people like their colours to be. Maybe you can guess where I live?

Rather than jump onto a 5 year old thread, it would be better to start a new thread in the "Ideas" section, thereby creating an official feature request. See here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-ideas/how-do-i-write-a-feature-request/idi-p/123863...

Not currently. You can submit a feature request in the Ideas section of this community, but it might take a while before it reaches a high enough priority compared to other requests.

In the meantime, you can try a plug-in that lets you customize the Auto results:

Personalizing Adobe’s Amazing New Auto-Tone Feature

Coincidentally, the example he uses for the plug-in shows reducing the amount of Vibrance and Saturation that Auto applies.
