CREATE STUNNING TIMESTACKS
Actions can be put to all kinds of creative uses. In this project we take an in-depth look at how they can be used to create a stunning timestack image. The technique for this is rather simple – we copy images on top of one another and then change the blend mode to Lighten, so that the lighter parts of the clouds show through, creating a staggered cloud pattern. However, if we want to blend hundreds of photos then it ’s not practical to load them all into layers at once and then blend them all. The solution is to use an Action that opens each image in the sequence, then copies and blends it with our base image. This involves a neat trick with the Batch command.
