I don’t quite follow your route use case, but this is one the simplest ways to add an auto increment.

> - Add a RowID column
> - Add a Lookup column that targets the RowID column. The result should be an array of RowIDs.
> - Use a Find Element Index column to find the RowID in the RowID array. This will give you an auto-incrementing Row Index.
> - Add your Image array using a Single Value column, or relation + lookup column.
> - Now use a Single Value column to address the Nth from start of the image array, where N is the row index.
