: Automate image creation with addition of number, that increases with each iteration Possible Duplicate: How to create a batch job, numbering images (writing text on them) from 1 to 100

Well, I would take the problem from the other side, by using a Batch File Renamer.

Basically:


create 98 copies of your original files - if every time, you "select all -> copy here", you will be done in seven moves.
Then open them all (or 30 by 30, maybe even 10 by 10) in photoshop
Use Action to add the Type Layer to all the files
Then change the number in all the layers.


As for all batch work, it gets a lot faster to do each action of your process one by one, apply it to all your files, and moving to the next action of your process, rather than doing the whole process for a file, then moving to the other file (cf Mass production industry processes)

Have you ever experimented with Actions in Photoshop? I use the tool all the time. It lets you record a series of steps you take with an image including saving closing and and even opening a new file. Then you can assign the action a shortcut and voila just press the shortcut you assigned and photoshop repeats the steps you took to achieve the finished product. I use it to convert batches of images from RGB to CMYK and size them to the dpi I need for print. The only issue I don't know how to help you with is getting it to increase the number with each image you are working with both with the type on the image and in the saved file name. Maybe someone else can step in to give you that answer.

OK my previous solution was not enough... I have just tried experimenting with data Variables in Photoshop which seems like the way to go. I will try to put one together with screen shots, but if you look online for photoshop "define variables" I think it will be your solution.
