Photoshop Automator Action Pack - 3.7

Now packing a total of 86 separate actions, version 3.5 of the Photoshop Action Pack lets users of Photoshop CS, CS2 and CS3 drive Photoshop from within Apple's Automator. Version 3.5 of the Action Pack includes a new action, adds several features to old actions, and includes several bug fixes. Automator ships with every copy of OS X 10.4, and allows users to easily construct automation routines by simply dragging and dropping special Automator Actions together to create a workflow. Before you can control a specific app, though, you need to install the appropriate actions that will allow Automator to talk to the program in question. The Photoshop Action Pack provides everything you need to control all of Photoshop's major functions from within Automator. For those who wonder why they should hassle with Automator when Photoshop has its own internal automation mechanism, the answer is threefold: first, Automator lets you control multiple applications from within a single workflow, so you can easily create workflows that automatically process images in Photoshop, and then use other apps to perform additional operations - copying, archiving, placing in a page layout program, transferring to an FTP site, and so on. Second, Photoshop's built-in Actions palette does not include any logic control - you can't branch based on the properties of an image. The Photoshop Action Pack provides a number of "filter" actions which let you filter your images for processing based on file type, color mode, EXIF and IPTC tags, orientation, size, and more. With its logical operations you can build a single workflow that processes different types of images in different ways. Finally, with Automator, you can build batches comprised of images from multiple folders, volumes and servers.
