I think even the most maxed out Mac will grind to a halt as it runs out of memory when photoshop tries to deal with all these open documents. The first photoshop action in your workflow will attempt to leave a few thousand photoshop documents open. If you dont close those photoshop documents what happens when you dump a few thousand image files on your workflow. OK you say I wont save and close after each action is finished except for the last Photoshop action in the workflow. Neither is a good solution, why If you save and close after each action is finished then the workflow is slowed down by each action having to open, do its thing then save and close the document. You can then configure these actions to either save and close the file after each one, and the next action has to then open the file, or you can pass the photoshop document reference to the next action. You would build the workflow by having a scale action, followed by a unsharp mask action, followed by a brightness and contrast action.

What Is Automator On My Mac What he is trying to do here is get around one of the major weaknesses of Automator. His actions will either work on references to photoshop documents or the image files, and each action has the option of save and close. You could write two workflows, where each workflow ignores the files it shouldnt be dealing with and then run both workflows over the same set of files) The second main area and to me is even more important is the lack of looping over a number of Actions. You cannot split the workflow so that some image files are given to one action, while other images go to another.
