TECH SUPPORT AutoExposure in post? Q. I shoot weddings in RAW with a Canon EOS 7D and import my images to Adobe Lightroom 3. I developed a preset that solves most color temperature, saturation, fill, and highlight issues, but not exposure. Is there any program or preset that will batch-process dozens of images at once, bringing underexposed images up and taking overexposed images down to some standard exposure to have a consistent starting point? A. The closest you can get to making a preset for a standard exposure adjustment would be to use Lightroom's Auto Tone feature, whose purpose is to get to a basic, good exposure by adjusting exposure, highlight recovery, fill light, blacks, brightness, and contrast. To do this, make a copy of the preset you normally use, and check the Auto Tone box. That way these settings will be adjusted automatically, but white balance, clarity, tone curve, and other settings will be adjusted according to your usual preset. Do you have Tech Support Question?
