// 1) Enhance Monochromatic Contrast = "autoContrast"
// 2) Enhance Per Channel Contrast = "auto"
// 3) Find Dark & Light Colors = "autoBlackWhite"
// 4) Enhance Brightness and Contrast = "autoMachineLearning"
desc414.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("auto"), true); // Enter one of the four previous auto parameters here
// Snap neutral midtones
desc414.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("autoNeutrals"), true); // Only valid for the first 3 auto parameters
// Apply the auto curves adjustment

executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("set"), desc412, DialogModes.NO);
// Set the layer blend mode
//app.activeDocument.activeLayer.blendMode = BlendMode.LUMINOSITY;
// Set the layer opacity
//app.activeDocument.activeLayer.opacity = 50;
EDIT: I have updated the code to include references to all four auto options and snap neutral midtones.
