# autostyle

## 🔗Name

autostyle.lua - automatically apply a given style when an exif tag is present in the image file

## 🔗Description

Automatically apply a given style when an exif tag is present in the file. This tagged is checked with exiftool, in order to be able to match very exotic tags. I wrote this initially to be able to apply a style to compensate for Auto-DR from my Fujifilm camera

## 🔗Usage

- set the exif configuration string in your lua configuration mine, for instance, is AutoDynamicRange=200%=>DR200" meaning that I automatically want to apply my DR200 style on all images where exiftool returns ‘200%’ for the AutoDynamicRange tag
- if you want to be able to apply it manually to already imported images, define a shortcut (lua shortcuts). As I couldn’t find an event for when a development is removed, so the autostyle won’t be applied again, this shortcut is also helpful then
- import your images, or use the shortcut on your already imported images
- To determine which tag you want, list all tags with exiftool: exiftool -j XE021351.RAF, and find the one you want to use you can check it with

  > exiftool -AutoDynamicRange XE021351.RAF Auto Dynamic Range : 200%
