Whilst I am in a helpful and tip sharing mood. If you get the chance, check out a small automation plugin for Photoshop/Bridge called Autoloader.
The basic premise is - you have a bunch of photos to edit. You basically fire up autoloader, select the images/folder you want to edit, assign a key to the action and off you go.. The first time you press the shortcut (I reassigned the brush toolbox key F5) the first image will appear. Make your edits, don`t worry about merging the layers afterwards, just press the shortcut. It will flattern and save the image in the folder of your choice, then bring up the next image.. It really helps me when editing a large batch of images. You can also close down photoshop and come back to it later and it will pick up where it left off.
The website explains it far better than me.. however I just noticed the price has gone up a bit since I purchased it about a year ago. Definitely worth checking out though if you are a busy bee like me.
EDIT - It says it only support CS3 upwards, but I used it for year in CS2 with no probs.

Seems like a cool add on to save some time. I don't use Bridge though and Lightroom has its own ways to save time editing images. I find it odd that Adobe is pushing Bridge to be used in tandem with photoshop but then they push Lightroom to be used separately from photoshop. Lightroom, to me, does everything that Bridge does and does it better.
I would get this if I were using PS exclusively with Bridge, sounds like a great idea. |

| You don't have to use it with Bridge - I`ve personally only been using bridge for the past few months, but it can be setup with Photoshop without the need for Bridge. |
