Photoshop Automator Actions is a package of Actions that lets you control many of Photoshop's most common functions from within Automator, letting you add Photoshop functionality to your Automator workflows. If you find them useful, please consider donating at my website.
What's New
Version 5.0:
  • Version 5 brings compatibility with Photoshop CS5, as well as the final release of the CS4 actions. As always, there have been lots of bug fixes along the way including file naming, and image resizing - two problems that were introduced with the CS4 beta. Some actions have seen the addition of new parameters, and the v5 package ships with three new actions.
  • The new Diptych and Triptych actions automate the process of creating two-up, and three-up layouts. With full control over margins and spacing, diptych and triptych creation has never been easier.
  • The new Contact Sheet action replicates most of the functionality of the Contact Sheet script that is available as an optional install from Adobe. Of course, the advantage of having such power within Automator is that you can now automate the production of your contact sheets. Contact Sheet produces a PSD (either flat or layered) and gives you the option of displaying up to two lines of metadata beneath each thumbnail.

I don't want to give away all my secrets but I have to sing the praises of these Automator Actions. I've been using them since 2005 (and CS2?) to crunch large folders of images into multiple sets of web optimized jpgs at specific sizes, watermark for Ebay, and/or convert color profiles.

The brilliance of these Automator actions is that you can use them to accomplish things which can't be done via Photoshop's built-in "actions" functionality. Better yet, the Automator Actions can be used in conjunction with Photoshop's actions. And sometimes it's just more efficient to set a few values in an Automator workflow instead of doing it in Photoshop.

Basically, stuff gets done. Instead of getting a repetitive stress injury, you make a cup of tea while your machine spends a few minutes doing the busy work.

From previous comments here I can see that some folks stumbled over the learning curve. Automator has its learning curve, and these actions have a quirk or two (tip: every workflow needs to include the "Render" action). But, hey, Photoshop has a bit of a learning curve, too, in case you hadn't noticed.

If you're not doing repetitive tasks in Photoshop, then you probably don't need this.

With all respect, this is a most stupid way how to operate Photoshop, complicated, inaccurate and time consuming ... this automator is just a waste of time ... not saving it.

By all means, do divulge your method for controlling Photoshop from a fully automated environment that is not complicated, inaccurate and time consuming.

I loved these automator actions, but the moment I installed CS3, they were gone. Any updates planned for the near future?
