Hi, Following up on our discussion at the meeting last night about automator I found a great site called www.macosxautomation.com. it has a lot of resource material including pre-written automator scripts which you can modify for your own use. Many of the scripts are saved as services so they can be called from an application menu. For Doug F. - some of the services which are pre-written include importing into iphoto and modifying the image although not to the extent we were talking about. This site could be a start perhaps.
