File - Automate - Batch

[Leon1549]

I would like to create a Batch Action from an Action that changes a photo's HUE value by 1. So that I can create 360 different PNG files.

Is that possible?

In essence the HUE value is a variable that increased by 1 each time it cycles through the Action.

This can be done using batch processing and actions, but with a some problems, so it's easier with a script:

var s2t = stringIDToTypeID,
	saveOptions;
try {
	(d = new ActionDescriptor()).putObject(s2t("as"), s2t("PNGFormat"), new ActionDescriptor());
	var saveOptions = executeAction(s2t("save"), d, DialogModes.ALL);
} catch (e) { }
if (saveOptions) {
	var savePath = saveOptions.getPath(s2t('in')).path,
		saveName = saveOptions.getPath(s2t('in')).name.replace(/\.[0-9a-z]+$/, ''),
		offset = 0;
	doProgress('', 'saveToPng()');
	function saveToPng() {
		for (var i = 0; i < 360; i++) {
			updateProgress(i + 1, 360);
			(d = new ActionDescriptor()).putEnumerated(s2t("presetKind"), s2t("presetKindType"), s2t("presetKindCustom"));
			d.putBoolean(s2t("colorize"), false);
			(d1 = new ActionDescriptor()).putInteger(s2t("hue"), 1);
			d1.putInteger(s2t("saturation"), 0);
			d1.putInteger(s2t("lightness"), 0);
			(l = new ActionList()).putObject(s2t("hueSatAdjustmentV2"), d1);
			d.putList(s2t("adjustment"), l);
			executeAction(s2t("hueSaturation"), d, DialogModes.NO);
			changeProgressText('saving file: ' + saveName + ' ' + ++offset + '.png');
			saveOptions.putPath(s2t('in'), new File(savePath + '/' + saveName + ' ' + offset + '.png'))
			executeAction(s2t("save"), saveOptions, DialogModes.NO);
		}
	}
}

- simply awesome!!!!!!!! you are the best!!!

as with any request - one simple change if possible (if it makes sense)

since HUE starts at   -180    and ends at    180 --- how can this script be modified for that?

Or does it already ccount for that?

Many kudos
