Does anyone know how to set a default in Bridge or ACR to Auto Tone my images upon opening from Bridge to ACR. Photo's are DNG's.

Unless I'm mistaken you have to open the pic in PS to use Auto Tone. ACR has many tweaks using the sliders, but auto tone is not one of them.

Bob,
Thanks for your reply.

Above the basic panel in ACR there are two buttons Auto and BW. In the past, I had ACR set to apply the Auto feature upon opening images from bridge. So If I opened 10 images at once from bridge each one would have "Auto" applied automatically. It saved me a few clicks from having to select all and then click on auto.

Create a "preset" with Auto Tone. The go to preferences and select that the preset be applied when opening images.

Do you need screen shots?

Screen shots would be very helpful. Thank you.
