Hello, been looking like a madman to solve this, i have 2 kids, i take photographs every saturday of face and full body, and now i have close to 900 images to do the following.

"-distort Affine" will scale, rotate and translate one image so that two control points on that image align with two control points on the other image.

If your photos are as described on the video, I would SRT each image to align with the previous. If the pose and lighting are similar, this is fairly easy if we know the bounding rectangle of each eye in the previous image. We crop to those and search for them in local areas of the new image. The centres of the rectangles are our control points, and we have the new bounding rectangles for the following day.

I expect people have done this before, and they may have published scripts.

This forum is for PAID consulting, which you did not mention. So I am moving it to the Users forum.
