SDK Auto Exposure

Is there any way to trigger auto-exposure via the SDK? I see LrDevelopController.setAutoTone() but nothing for just the auto-exposure. I've created a script that gets a photo's current settings, applies auto tone, and then applies the previous settings to everything but exposure. Technically this accomplishes auto-exposure but it is not exactly an elegant solution.

If by "auto exposure", you mean getting the value for Exposure you'd get by shift-clicking the label "Exposure" in the Basic banel, your method is the only way. 

 

You might also check out the Personalized Auto Tone of the Bag Of Goodies plugin.

Hi, can you maybe share that script? I would be very interested about a keyboard shortcut for only Auto Exposure. It would be very handy, because clicking twice with shift held down on each image is not exactly fast 😞

@johnrellis Yes, that is exactly what I am referencing. Thanks for confirming there is no method to do this via the SDK (besides my clunky solution). I appreciate it!
