[Shotwell] auto Exposure feature

[Dirk Nelson]

I really like the idea of applying a set of color adjustments to multiple photos.  I like to take pictures in aquarium and museum, and the ambient light condition is kind of dark.  Having this feature would be helpful to adjust the colors on a set of photos.

Hi,

It would be nice to have an auto Exposure feature that is similar to auto Enhance for multiples photos in the library.  This is a huge advantage in saving time and energy since I do not have to auto Enhance each photo individually for a large collection of photos.  For the auto Enhance, I can just select multiples photos and then hit Ctrl+E. 




What do you think about the auto Exposure feature?  I can just set a default value on the exposure slider that is to be applied to all the photos and then let Shotwell takes care the rest.  For now, I have to adjust the exposure for each photo, and it takes a long time to go through each one of them individually in a large photo collection.



I'm not sure we'd want to do an auto-exposure feature; but the idea of applying one set of color adjustments to multiple photos is ticketed here:

I know that's not *quite* what you'd asked for, but that's the direction we're learning on this.  Would that work for you?
