Can you auto everything?

Again I am trying the demo out. Again 800 images. Can you set it to auto white balance and auto exposer all with out going through every image. This way I could just make my fine tuning on them. PhotoShopCS2 seems to do a better job on the auto settings, but I like the color better in Phase 1.

  Macsuga,
  
  Each image will have to be Auto adjusted.
  However, if a job is shot consistently, then you can select the Auto WB on 1st image, and then the Apply to other image selections in the Session. They will then have the same WB values. Same goes for Exposure adjustments.
  
  Using the Auto to adjust is not used very often, when color and WB can be much more precise by capturing a true gray card or Macbeth and then establishing the WB selection from this target. The WB setting can then be applied to all images in a Session and done with quite accurate color.

  Thanks for the info... ☹️
  For shooting a weddings this would really slow down my work flow. Every image is diffident. A auto adjust to all WB and Exp here would be better. Then go through the images to make little adjustments to each.

  Macsuga,
  
  There are better approaches to setting good WB than the 'shoot from the hip' one.
  Even within a wedding Session, there are groups of shots that are relatively consistent.
  Especially if you DO NOT use in-camera Auto WB but choose a pre-set.
  These groups then can be adjusted together, i.e. Outside shots, Church, Reception all within the Session.
  These lighting situations all give you a challenge for sure. Taking the time of a few seconds to capture a gray target is an option some use. Another is to select a WB based from an area within an image. My experience is that this arrives at a more accurate WB than Auto in Capture One.
  For weddings, what is better than the Bride's dress ? ! Brides always want their dress to be absolutely correct in color anyways, so establishin WB from the dress will get accurate and consistent results.
  
  Sincerely,
  k c
