Photoshop Automator Actions
Mac OS X 10.4 ships with Automator, a powerful workflow automation tool that lets you easily automate the operation of any AppleScriptable application. While Automator can control many applications right out of the box, it lacks the ability to automate Photoshop. For Photoshop control, you need The Photoshop Action Pack, which provides everything you need to drive Photoshop CS and CS2 using Automator.
To use Automator, you string a series of "actions" together to create a workflow. The Photoshop Action Pack provides 56 Actions that allow you to control all of Photoshop's functions. In addition, the Action Pack includes special filter operations that let you sort images based on various criteria including EXIF and IPTC tags, color mode, size, orientation and aspect ratio. With the Automator Action Pack, you can execute complex batch operations that are impossible with Photoshop's internal Actions.
Because Automator can control much more than just Photoshop, you can automate entire photography and graphics production pipelines. Use Automator and the Photoshop Action Pack to batch process the manipulation of your images and then automatically upload the results to a server, or archive them to a CD or DVD.

In addition, the Action Pack includes documentation, an assortment of sample workflows, and a new Batch Manager which helps overcome some of Automator's shortcomings when dealing with large batches of high-res files. The 50 page manual provides a reference for all of the included actions, as well as an introduction to using Automator, and strategies for building Photoshop workflows.
