No Auto Exposure Button

The auto exposure button at the top of the my adjustments HUD does not seem to work. It is grayed out. Is there a fix for this. The auto levels button does work.

It's only available if you are shooting RAW

Aperture freezes every time I push the auto exposure button. Any suggestions?

Aperture freezes every time I push the auto exposure button. Any suggestions?

What is your Aperture version? And since when are you haveíng this problem? Did this start, after you imported photos or updated software? Did you move your Aperture library or your original image files? Did Aperture crash?
Does it only happen when you are working in your main Aperture library, or also when you are using a different Aperture library?
As a test, create a new Aperture library and and try to adjust an image there. Does it work?

I'm a newbie with Aperture.

Sorry for my bad english... i'm from Portugal.

It will only work to adjust RAW files.....

Auto Exposure Button Unavailable

I am working through the pro training series and I am currently playing with Auto Exposure, it works fine with the provided images, but when I attempt to use it with my own imported images the option is grayed out and unavailable?? Any ideas, do I need to change a setting when I am importing?

So if the files are not RAW then the Auto Exposure
Feature is Grayed out?? If so that answers my
question. I am certain that my files are done
importing.
That is correct. You can only use the Auto Exposure button RAW files, as it applies settings adjustments that are only available in RAW images. These are un-processed images, what you are doing is 'processing' the negative.
Once that is done, then you apply other adjustments, such as levels or cropping. Processed images, such as JPG or TIFF, are already processed within the camera, so you can't make any further adjustments to the negative process.

Auto exposure not working

I'm using Aperture 1.5.6 and Leopard. I've always been able to use the Auto exposure button at the top. I just noticed it's grayed out and I can't use it. Is this a known problem?
Thanks for any help.

What is the best image browser to export my images first to using a card reader. On my old tiger OS they exported to Preview and I hated that. Should I take them straight into Adobe DNG or DPP and how do I tell it to auto go to whichever app? I'm an avid Photoshoper so would that be the best possibility. I want to have the ability to edit them first before importing into Aperture.

Why does Auto Tone button in Quick Develop panel fail with Win 7 platform?

I have been a user of Photoshop since the inception of Photoshop CS. I recently purchased a subscription to Photoshop CC, which comes with Photoshop Lightroom 5.
I have never used Lightroom, so I purchased the Kindle version of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5, CLASSROOM IN A BOOK. I have this eBook installed on the same Windows 7 PC that I have Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5 installed on.
I ran into a problem in a section of the first chapter titled “Using Quick Develop in the Library module.” This section, in part, instructs how to quickly improve the color tonal balance of an image.
After selecting the required image from the sample images for this lesson, I found the histogram in my Lightroom 5 Loupe view to be the same as the lesson’s photo illustration for this original image. As described in the lesson, the photo did not have a balanced tonal distribution.
I followed the lesson’s instruction: “4. In the Quick Develop panel, watch the tone distribution curve shift in the Histogram panel as you click the Auto Tone button. Although the automatic adjustment hasn’t done a perfect job with this particular photo, there is substantial improvement; a lot of image detail has been recovered from the overexposed hair and face and there is more depth in the mid-tones. The contrast, however, remains unimpressive, and the darker areas still look flat.” (See Adobe Creative Team [2013-08-06]. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5: Classroom in a Book [Kindle Locations 1024-1026]. Pearson Education. Kindle Edition.)
This is where I ran into a problem. After clicking on the Auto Tone Button in the Quick Develop panel, my results were completely different than what was described and shown in the Histogram displayed in the lesson. Instead, in my Lightroom 5, clicking the Lightroom Auto Tone button has increased the exposure, making it even more over exposed than the original image! Therefore continuing to follow the instructions in the lesson was a waste of time, since my Auto Tone results were so totally out of sync from that of the lesson.
This disturbed me, so I decided to open the same sample image in Photoshop CC, Camera RAW 8.2. Camera RAW provides an Auto Button which improves exposure and color tonal balance to an image. The results were exactly the same as the Auto Tone functionality in the Quick Develop panel in Lightroom 5. I couldn't understand why the lesson instructor's results were so positive and mine were so disastrous. Then it hit me! I discovered that the lesson writer of this Adobe Classroom in a Book was using Lightroom 5 on a MAC computer. I could tell by looking at his lesson images. Just to be sure, I tried this lesson scenario on a different PC with Win 7, Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5. I got the same failed results.
I’ve heard from other professionals that Photoshop and Lightroom software only work properly on Apple computers. I’ve always thought that this was a myth, but have infrequently experienced a good result using the Auto button feature in Photoshop Camera Raw on a Windows PC platform, so I don’t use it often.
What really has me frustrated is the fact that Adobe no longer has a direct way to report software defects to their tech support or process improvement teams. Their online bug reporting process is woefully inadequate. I've tried twice to create a support ticket on the Adobe site, only to have my case withdrawn mysteriously. I've tried their online chat, telephone support, and sent emails with image attachments to the address provided by their agent on the telephone. My email goes unanswered and my open cases somehow get closed.
Any ideas on how to get this issue addressed by Adobe are sincerely appreciated.

Adobe tries to improve the Auto Tone function from time-to-time. I used to completely underexpose an image that had a few bright spots such as car headlights turned on in an otherwise properly exposed image. This is probably what you’re seeing, LR now guessing brighter more of the time, and it might change, again, in a future version so don’t be too concerned.
As others have said, Auto Tone works on some images and not on others, and Adobe can only try to make it work better on more images by changing how it works on all images. For the lesson example, the author purposely used an image that was improved with auto-tone that LR did at the time of authorship. You will never have a picture exactly like the lesson’s example, either, so it’s not that important if the lesson is 100% accurate for future versions of LR, just that the general idea that some pictures are improved in certain ways by Auto Tone will still be applicable, and you’ll need to learn, by trial and error, what to do when Auto Tone doesn’t work well or the image needs further adjustment. That is the important lesson, what to do with your own pictures.
You can reset a particular slider after a bad Auto Tone by double clicking on that slider. The Exposure slider is the one I reset most often.
You can also LR set the Auto Tone value for just one slider by holding down the Shift key and double clicking on that one slider. I do this a lot for the Blacks slider to set the black point, without messing up everything else.

Auto exposure not applying when using the auto enhance function

I am on Aperture 3.6 and Yosemite. I use a Canon 6D and shoot in RAW. When I am doing the batch auto enhance to my shots, I find that even though in the adjustments preset Auto Enhance includes auto exposure, often it is actually not applied. Are there anyways to fix this? The images actually are a bit underexposed and I now need to go through picture by picture to click on the auto button under adjustment. Thanks.

Have you set your camera to use Canon's Highlight Tone Priority? Then most of the Raw files will be underexposed, because Aperture is developing the RAW file "as is" and not applying the in-camera settings. See Keith Barkley's user tip.

Apple please rework the auto exposure adjustment

90% of the time, the result is worse than before. It seems, Aperture's auto exposure adjustment is based on an average of the whole picture. So in its effort to get a well distributed histogram over the whole range, it happily blows the brighter parts of the picture.
I usually try to recover most of the highlights except small reflections etc. and then lighten up shadows and mid-tones with the appropriate tools to get a well exposed picture.
So I would prefer, that the auto exposure adjustment would be more sensitive towards blown highlights especially larger contiguous areas of highlights.
If you can't find an algorithm that works reliable, probably give me two separate auto exposure adjustment buttons. One adjusts to overall good exposure, like it is currently, the other tries to prevent blown highlights.
An even more advanced auto exposure adjustment would be, to combine the current exposure adjustment with some shadow and mid-tones adjustment, in case the exposure adjustment with preserving highlights led to an underexposed image.
I don't expect this to give perfect results, but it would be a real timesaver to use it as a starting point for manual fine tuning.
Not to bash Aperture but to encourage you to improve it: ACR's auto exposure mechanism is doing a much better job than Aperture's current one.

Well, obviously all your photos are already exposed perfectly!
(Seriously: when you say "nothing happens", do you mean absolutely nothing? Does the "Exposure" panel's check-box become checked after you hit the Auto button? If so, then it made SOME adjustment (though perhaps not enough for you to notice, see initial comment!) If not, then yeah, something is not working right for you.

Ideapad u300s youcam 3 webcam image very dark and exposure button not moving

Just got the u300s after hearing so much about it. Webcam image is very dark and exposure button is not working. auto adjust doesnt help. Even iphone4 front camera has a better exposure control. Can anyone help if it is software or hardware problem. Very disappointing.

Exactly the same issue. The exposure setting won't change. It's not even that it doesn't save, as you look at the preview screen, all of the video proc amp setting change live, but when you get onto exposure, it does nothing. And then it doesn't save.
So this issue has been floating around for about 3 years and nothing has come to light to fix it.

Stamp 'Auto exposure' not working?

Hello,
I've about 100 photo's. All taken under the same conditions.
I want to:
     - auto white balance
     - auto exposure
     - auto enhance
them.
So I did this to the first photo, then lifted metadata & adjustments, highlighted Adjustments, selected photo's no. 2 until the last one and stamped them.
Aperture was a while busy processing.
After processing was complete, I discovered that the 'auto exposure' hadn't been applied (or false applied?) to several (probably all) photo's.
The photo's were clearly over-exposed. So I stamped some of them again, one by one, to if anything would change but no, nothing changed.
However, upon selecting a single photo and clicking 'Exposure->Auto' in the Adjustments tab, the Exposure was adjusted (example: from 1,24 to 0,13).
In the online help I cannot find anything that says that you can't stamp 'auto exposure' or that you can't stamp several adjustments at once.
Any idea why this isn't working (correctly) and how to solve it?
Checking 100 photo's one by one seems a bit silly to do . . .
I'm using Aperture 3.4.5 on a MacBook Pro (early 2011 model) with OS X 10.8.4, and no outstanding updates.
Kind regards,

I can duplicate what you are seeing. The problem shows up depending on the order you apply the adjustments to the first image.
1. First apply auto-exposure, then apply auto-enhance. Lift and stamp the adjustments. The auto-exposure adjustment is NOT applied to the selected images.
2. Now switch the order... first apply auto-enhance, then apply auto-exposure. Lift and stamp the adjustments. The auto-exposure adjustment is applied to the selected images.
So it would appear that stamping auto-adjustments fails depending on the order the adjustments were originally applied, at least when auto-enhance is included.
The auto-exposure adjustment does show up in the lift-and-stamp HUDs, but isn't being applied.
Some other notes...
Auto-enhance never seems to adjust exposure; it uses a combination of other adjustments, sometimes not always for the better.
Auto white balance gets thrown into auto-enhance, so I didn't include it when testing.
This smells like a bug to me, and I'm going to report it as such. You should do the same if you agree.
One more reason I don't like the whole lift & stamp approach to applying adjustments to multiple images. Blah!

Using auto exposure give the same settings for every picture

for some reason, aperture 3.0 has been giving me the same settings when using the auto exposure on raw files. i swear it wasn't that way when i first started using the program. regardless of the image, it always sets an exposure of 1.0 and a recovery of 0.0.

GLITCHY GIMMICKS Just imported 2 raw & 2 Jpegs, Adj WB & Exp. on a raw. Then went to Library & turned on Quick Preview, went back to Adjustments and could still carry out adjustments. Went to another image and it still allows adjustments but the adjustments are being applied to the previous image. Typical Aperture Glitches. Apple would do better to get the stuff they have; working proper, before producing more and more GLICHY GIMMICKS Allan

HT1476 i-phone3 wont recharge; initially home button wouldn't work. Applied the 'auto-touch button thing' via settings. This worked until I ran out of battery life. Now it won't recharge either via laptop (usually does) or wall switch. Just a blk screen.

In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.
