How to automatically create and save several colorful imagevariations

[WhiteHaven]

Hi there,

so I am at loss here. I wanna create several copies of one image with different color hue (or possible a different filter/effect) with a goal to create a timelapse video from the images. Taking the first option as an example, I would like to create an action in which the image hue would change by 1, the image would save and again until I have 180 images. I was trying to create an action repeating an action /hue, flatten, save as, repeat/, didnt work, the one file would always override itself. Same result with the batch process with different settings etc. I ran out of options, google didnt help either, does anybody has an idea how could I achieve this? Thank you very much in advance.

Did you try to use Photoshop layer comps? Here some information: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/layer-comps.html

Thank you, I am not familiar with those, but from what I just read I dont see how would it solve my problem as I would have to create 180 layers anyway 😞 Or am I missing something?

Hi
Do you have to use Photoshop? I would do that in After Effects where you can keyframe the adjustments. You could then Export to an image sequence or directly to a video format

Hey, thx for the tip. I never used After Effects, will look into it!
