Learn how to use Adobe Sensei to automatically adjust exposure, contrast, and color.

Auto settings apply intelligent edits to Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, Whites, Blacks, Saturation, and Vibrance based on your photo’s Light and Color characteristics. Use this feature when you want a quick starting point for editing or when you’re unsure which adjustments will improve your photo.

Apply Auto settings

Select a photo to open it in Detail view.

Select Edit > Auto .

Lightroom analyzes the image and automatically applies adjustments.

After Adobe Lightroom on mobile applies Auto settings, you can adjust individual sliders in the Light and Color panels to refine the result.

Note

When you capture an HDR photo using the in-app camera, Lightroom automatically applies Auto settings to the processed photo.
