Thank you! The problem I had with PS and Applescript/Automator is I'm
not quite sure how Automator handles multiple calls on the same script.
For example... I set up a watch folder to call a photoshop droplet each
time a file is placed in the folder. I tried pasting multiple files into
the directory quickly, and what happened was the second file opening
interfered with the first file processing.
I'll admit there might have been other problems with my script.
I used
-Find Finder Items
-Open finder items (to open images with a droplet)
-move finder items (to move them after opening)
I wouldn't mind knowing what I was doing wrong, or getting that working
too...
Although the quartz method does seem more stable in the long run, it
could be great to know how to use all of photoshop's functionality for
other uses.
what's graphics converter?

if you have programming experience and photoshop I would suggest
AppleScript and PS. you can make a watched folder app/script in AS.
then you don't have to mess around with getting automated and QC to
talk properly.
graphic converter is very good at batching operations too.

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!
