LR Auto Crop and straighten
I shoot a fair amount of sports and the majority of my post work is straighten/crop. It would help improve my workflow immensley if LR could auto crop based on the sharpness of the image. Most sports images are shot wide open so it should be relatively easy to identify the subject in the image based on sharepness. Additionally if you could provide an option to straighten an image absed on the horizontal position of any eyes in the picture this would also be a great feature.

And straighten based on eyes? Do your subjects always hold their heads perfectly straight in all your photos? In the middle of playing a sport? What kind of sport do you shoot? Again this would fail more often than it would work, I’m afraid.

You certainly wouldn't straighten on the eye level as a default, but there are many occasions where I have no reference other than drawing a line from the tip of the nose down the centre of the body. Having the option to straighten by eye level would be very useful where there is an expectation of the subject to be standing straight. For me personally, I would use this predominalely for sports portraits where the subject is typically square to the camera, but it could also be useful for action shots such as running events or any other shots where the subject is straight on to the camera.
