I WOULD like for the auto-straighter to be on in my photos app.
How do I change the setting?

There is not universal auto mode for cropping/straightening. If you click on the Auto button in the Crop mode it will stay on for that particular session of Photos. If you close Photos and reopen the library you'll have to click on the Auto button to get it into the auto mode for cropping.

When I open a photo, that needs straightening and open the Crop tool, the straightening will applied, but only, if the photo has not yet been edited in any way. If the photo has already been edited on the iPhone, for example, the automatic straightening will not happen; also, if Photos cannot detect any lines, that should clearly be horizontal or vertical. And I just noticed, that it will not straighten any HEIC images, only the JPEGs.
And the nice perspective correction tools from Photos iOS 13 are still missing completely on the Mac. They have not even been promised to come to Photos for Mac in the Big Sur preview. macOS Big Sur Preview - Features - Apple
As a test launch Photos with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it? (This tells us if the problem is limited to your current library or is more wide spread)
Next, log into another admin user account, Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac, and see if the problem persists. (This tells us if the problem is limited to your user account or is system wide).
Lastly from your primary user account boot into Safe Mode (How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support) by booting with the Shift key held down and check there to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.
NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing some system cache cleaning, volume verifying and directory repairing.
That's just it, mine isn't working at all. It does on my phone but not on my MacBook pro.
I would like it to automatically straighten so I can compare my eyes to what it is seeing as straight but it won't automatically straighten at all.
Yes, it will only do Jpeg! I have been shooting in Raw and it won't do raw photos.
I just tried.
I have been having some other problems using raw with Photos and have an open case with Apple Support.
Thanks - this helped a lot!
It cannot be turned off. As soon as you open the Crop tool the photo will be straightened, if Photos can find the horizon or vertical lines. You cannot avoid it.
My first text the auto didn't work if I turned it off/reset, closed the library, reopened and tested the same photo again. The second time I tested it was automatic. 'Tis a puzzlement.
It is good, that we can revert to the original orientation, after the automatic straighten has been applied, because the automatic straightening can be dreadfully wrong.

How true!
Yes, but I would like to compare what it sees to what I see.
I would like for my automatic straightener to work but it doesn't. It is strange.
