I work at a cabinet company and I am in need of some help to make a process faster.
We have alot of door styles and I am in charge of photoshoping all of our color offerings for all of our marketing materials. Each time we add a new door I need to photoshop all of the colors onto it.
I have 15 new doors and 21 stains that I need to edit onto them so a total of 315 separate images of our doors. My usual process is I take a door stained in our "Natural" and edit the colors to match the next stain on my list.
I'm wondering if I can have one file that has separate "canvases" that I can edit all at once instead of having to edit each file individually.
If anyone knows a better way to do this please let me know, thank you for any help!

I would perhaps approach this with creating an action and batching the process that way. It depends on your exact process though. Is this a process you go through pretty often?
You'd essentially create an action for each of the 21 stain colors and then run the batch process 21 times.
Assuming there isn't anything else that needs to be done like spot removal then this should save some time. It would certainly be easier than clicking save 315 times! The real time saver comes if this is a process that is repeated often.

A lot would depend on the similarities between each new photo shoot and how you edit to create the various versions.
If you setup a file with split layers for stain colour, texture, shadow, highlights, then you can easily change the stain colour for each variant. The issue is that for each new shoot, you need to setup the layers. This could possibly be automated via an action.
Or if you change the colour using different methods, then that may also be applied via an action as suggested by @George_F
