Color Correcting Time Lapse Videos with Photoshop

[eddenram1]

I'm having trouble with the new masks I'm creating. After I create a new layer like you do in the video it all works fine, but once I start the batch process, the masks lose their values and the Levels I created apply now to the whole picture, and not just my selection. Its as if when i start the batch process all the layers disappear and all the adjustments and put on the entire picture.

Do you know what could be wrong?

Thanks a lot for the video!

@eddenram1 Hi. It's difficult to say without seeing exactly how you're setting up your action. Are you flattening the image (using Layer>Flatten Image) between steps and/or at the end of the action just before saving? If not, this might help. Let me know if that makes a difference.

[eddenram1]

@firstcreativeltd no I've been flattening at the end before the save. The problem is that the black selected area in each of the new layers disappears after I start the batch process...

@eddenram1 Never mind got it! Turns out you can't use the quick mask function because it doesn't save the selection you've created. Thanks anyways for your help!

This is great, nicely paced, and perfect diction, with very 'Oliver Postgate' sound about the delivery. And informative of course.
