That's a good suggestion but I really don't know the answer to that yet because I haven't yet delved into learning in any detail about 'data-driven' graphics.
Also, from what I continued to read last night it looks like I would need to learn Adobe "Image Ready" (which I also have some version of somewhere) in order to do the data-driven graphics.
Perhaps someone at these boards more familiar with Image-Ready or Photoshop would be better able to answer that question. I will probably learn more about all of this in the not-too-distant future, but am currently first wanting to get some heads done and get practiced at working within the settings for Deft's template. Then I will go from there.
Good suggestion though.
Also, you had also made mention in a previous post about using 'web-software' or 'web-type processes' (I don't know recall just how you had phrased it). That sounds like a very good idea to me but I know almost nothing at all when it comes to web-programming tools/processes so I couldn't answer that either. It does sound like it would be an area with potential, however, if I'm thinking of it right, because it seems that with 'web techniques' that one could create automated procedures that use variables to access certain specific files and probably has a more user-friendly collection of file referencing procedures.

For examples, phots from the 10's and 20's sucked, fuzzy, and some were brownish instead of true B&W
the 30's were kidna fuzzy B&W
the 40's and into the 50's were more and more sharper and clear
in the 50's you got that pastel ccolour look
the 70's were there but kinda fuzzy, much like the B&W 30's
and into the 80's and 90's it become almsot photo realistic with each passing year
how hard woudl it be to do somethign like that?

Seems like it would be very easy to create automated procedures that could carry that out over any size batch of photos you wish.
It would simply be a matter of defining the filters and photo adjustment processes involved for each of those eras and then creating an automation routine for it.
I will look into setting that up once I get some heads together.
It should be at least as easy as this was:

because that involved trying to integrate a 21st century image with a lower resolution 60's television image...lol [and, now looking back to that I can see where I could have adjusted the lighting on the cap differently so that it didn't pop out so much in the photo relative to the face...i think there needs to be a bit more shadow on the far right side of the image of the cap. Its kinda fun to be learning this stuff.
Oh yeah, here's how the first eight heads have turned out for me so far (without any hair added yet--beyond the FaceGen hair--and without any adjustments to the necks yet): [newest to oldest from left to right...and, to me it looks like the ones to the far right don't have quite as direct and fully synchronized eye contact as those on the left, so I must be moving in the right direction...also, this does get easier the more practice I get with it]
