Change the behaviour of "STRG + L"

Hi,

the automatic corrections of C1 (STRG + L in Windows) are working very fine for me with the RAWs ofmy EOS 7D II. When converting many photos (maybe a big Holidaytrip) in a quick first round, I make an auto correction of all Photos. At 95% of the photos I move the Lights/Highlights Slider in the HDR-Tool completely to the left side, because there are much more highlights to recover.

Is it possible to change the behaviour of STRG + L, that it will recover more highlights than in the standard setting?

  I am afraid that you can not change the way that auto adjust works. I have to workarounds.
  
  1. You can create a preset or series of presets for the HDR sliders and apply these on the selected images.
  
  2. During import you can use both auto adjust and apply a preset or style during import automatically. You can link the same HDR preset for this task to the import.

  Rodast,
  
  I think if you look at the Exposure Evaluation Histogram you may be able to see what potential is available for the image.
  
  If you are sure that there is more detail available in the file you can check that by adjusting the exposure value to see what you get.
  
  Of course this will then affect the entire image and you will have to decide whether you can still work the dark areas back to a value that is suitable for your needs.
  
  I suspect the key tool for you is actually the Levels tool and for the Automation aspect experimenting with the values in the Preferences (Exposure tab) for the levels tool should help with achieving the adjustments you need using the Auto Adjustment setting.
  
  Finally if you follow the concept of "Expose to the right" in order to obtain maximum detail in the dark areas of an image it may be worth reviewing that concept.
  
  There is, these days, a school of thought that thinks the other way on the basis that modern sensors and software are better able to deal with detail in shadow area than was once the case and by not shifting the exposure onto an area of slight over exposure more detail can be retained in highlights.
  
  All of that said it does seem to me that the way the HDR code works in V20 is noticeably different to previous versions . Or it is not different then somehow the effects of changes are different. Some re-thinking of ones approach seems to be necessary.
  
  
  HTH.
