I want to level many photos in Lightroom CC, not rotate them by 90°. Is there a way to select multiple images and have Lightroom automatically straighten each one based on its own horizon or content, using a shortcut, macro, or batch process?

I am not aware of such method (to straighten more than one photo) in Lightroom. And the reason is sample, most of the LR functions are about to apply settings to bunch of photos. And copy process use same settings. But for straighten every picture is different and it not make much sense to apply the same amount. As you can see the only option is to replicate the same angle.

Lightroom does not have a general batch command that auto-straightens each selected photo independently in the same way as manually using the straighten tool. Regular sync/copy settings only applies the same rotation value to every image, which usually won’t work because each photo needs a different correction.

The closest built-in option is Upright. If you apply an Upright mode such as Auto or Level and sync the Upright mode across multiple photos, Lightroom analyzes each image’s content individually and applies its own correction. That can help with leveling and perspective correction, depending on the photo.

So:

No, there isn’t a normal batch auto-straighten tool for independent horizon leveling.
Yes, you can try syncing an Upright mode, which may auto-correct each image separately based on its content.
