Automator actions for Photoshop CS/CS2

David Chartier, at The Unofficial Photoshop Weblog, recommends a set of Automator actions for Photoshop CS and CS2 that you shouldn't miss if you're into Photoshop or digital photography. Version 2.0 of Ben Long's Photoshop Action Pack includes scores of actions for controlling Photoshop functions and automating photography and graphics production workflows from your Mac.

These Automator actions are potentially more powerful than regular Photoshop actions because Automator can control functions outside, as well as inside Photoshop. For example, you can use them to manipulate a batch of images and then automatically upload the images to a server or archive them to a DVD. Version 2.0 of the Photoshop Action Pack includes 22 all new actions, additional features for existing actions, and an important bug fix related to batch processing.

You can download the Photoshop Action Pack for Photoshop CS or CS2 from the Complete Digital Photography site. While you're at the site,
notice that Long is also the author of two books, Complete Digital Photography and Getting Started with Camera Raw
(both of which are on my bookshelf), as well as numerous articles. If you do download this donationware, Long would appreciate a Paypal donation.
