Yeah, but once it is set up it is just a one click affair. BTW, windows/actions and automate/batch are two different things, but work together to process a whole bunch of files automatically.
Setting up is as simple as opening the actions window, clicking on record, then doing the thing manually, clicking on stop when you are done, then saving the action. Next time you want to use that action you just click run and it does all those steps automatically. Then you set up an batch to run that action on a whole folder of files. To convert a folder full of, say, images you want to convert to jpegs and put on a CD to give a client, it is then as simple as selecting the folder and the batch process. The real problem with Photoshop is that it does so damn many things it is hard to know all of them. Once you know about them they are usually fairly easy to use.
