Select all photos without Auto Tone

Hi all,

is there a way in LR Classic to filter out all photo's NOT having the development step "Auto Tone" applied ? There is, as far as I can see, not an obvious filter setting for this.

Unfortunately, there's no way to do this with built-in features. "Auto" appears in the Develop history, but there's no way to search the history.

You can use the Any Filter plugin with this search:

But you'll have to ensure that your catalog's medata is written back to files by setting the option Catalog Settings > Metadata > Automatically Write Changes Into XMP.  If you didn't already have that setting enabled, it could take a while for LR to do the initial saving of the metadata -- use the Metadata Status column in the Library Filter bar's Metadata browser to see when the initial saving is completed.

I just released a new version of the Any Filter plugin that lets you search Develop History steps, e.g. search for all photos that don't have Auto Settings in their history:
