I was facing the daunting prospect of having to resize and
adjust the brightness/contrast/sharpness setting for a whole bunch
of experimental photos....
They all had the same settings.... I was doing the photos one by
one, grumbling to myself 'There has got to be a better way to do
all this repetitive work.....'
Then I got a brainwave..... keyboard macros! 
So I downloaded a free trial and made it do most of my work for
me. 
what were you using to edit the photos ? ....
photoshop and gimp both have their own native macros
capabilities already eh.
