yes! completely agree...
I found it interesting I was trying to run this stuff through
photoshop, but photoshop turned out to be a weird bottleneck since
it's a single process. What happens if 2 images go through automator
at the same time? it's a conflict! It's one of the things that led me
to look at quartz. Really glad you have the same opinion.
of course the only issue I'm hitting now is the "non-obvious" lack of
an explicit alpha composite in the node Library, but I'm looking! I
found this class but not sure where it is in Library yet. (is this
something I need to add as an additional install?)

(or is there another composite function I'm missing with the alpha?)

Ive done several interesting automation test projects several months
ago and I would say it’s totally possible and would be
straightforward to accomplish. I would also say that in a production
environment (opinion following) Graphic Converter combined with OS X
file system for auto bulk processing images is solid match within a
workflow, capable of applying image adjustments in a procedural way
rather than GUI, and then outputting to any folder being “watched” by
quartz composer, which is integrated within your patch.

It's been awhile since I've done this, but maybe this general
overview will help.
Automator workflows will tend to work with what are called
QuartzComposer "protocol" compositions; Graphic Animation, Image
Filter, etc.
You will probably want to make an Image Filter protocol composition.
Use the QuartzComposer editor template chooser. Edit the composition
to your liking.
The simplest thing is probably to place a Composite patch on the
editor. Place your original image in one input, the watermark in the
other, then find the suitable blend mode for the Composite patch.
Take the output of that composite and attach it to the input of the
protocol splitter image output.
There may be some more efficient ways, but I'm describing what I
think is probably easiest.
In Automator, there are workflows that allow you to then run images
through any Image Filter qtz's you place in your Compositions
folder. You pretty much choose that, tweak whatever fields are
needed, and you should be good to go....if it all still works!

I would guess you could do something like this. Certainly Quartz
Composer can do the image processing.

Newbie question trying to determine if Quartz Composer is the tool
I need.
I looked in Automator and saw there's a way to use Quartz Composer
Compositions in automator to edit images.
I have a background in programming, and node based architecture
(from the 3d application Maya). Can I create my own quartz
composition to show up in Automator? Supposedly it will add any
composition in /Library/Compositions.
And are there any tutorials for doing this? (I'd also be willing
to spend a few bucks if there was someone around with the time to
answer a few questions).
I want to be able to have automator automatically apply a set
image (basically a watermark) over another image using the
watermark's alpha channel. And I want it to do this for any image
that's placed in that folder. I tried already with a photoshop
droplet, but it seems unreliable.
thanks!
