Hi, As i understand your project you need automation script for series of image filter. I personally use GIMP for my graphic works and as I know GIMP provides Python-script that we can use it to develop our required automation script. Also in Python Scientific libraries (Scipy Stack) there are some packages for image processing like scipy, scikit-image or even Opencv as alternative solution we can develop an automation script with one of these library.
I have good experiences developing code in Python Programming language for scientific application and Machine learning projects more than 3 years .
I also have taught scientific programming with python workshop several times including NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, Jupyter and Pandas topics.
So i think i can help you and write your required codes.
Thanks
