Function: Extensive Suite of Photoshop CS Actions.
Author: Complete Digital Photography
Notes: The download contains only the CS2 version; for the CS1 version and other updates, check here.
Updates:
Version 3.0 of the Action Pack includes 11 new actions - Add Layer, Add Empty Adjustment Layer, Add Graphic Watermark, Channel Mixer, Duplicate Current Layer, Paint Daubs, Photo Filter, Resize to File Size, Scale to X by 10%, Swap Colors, Exposure, and Reduce Noise. In addition, Version 3 now allows you to open any Camera Raw files supported by the version of Photoshop that you’re using. When opening Raw files using the Action Pack, Photoshop will automatically read any previously stored conversion settings and convert your document accordingly. This means you can now use an Automator workflow to batch process raw files that you’ve already configured in Camera Raw. Version 3 of the Action Pack also includes many new features to facilitate non-destructive editing, such as the creation of Adjustment Layers. CS2 users now have access to Photoshop’s Save for Web feature from the Action Pack, for creating highly optimized JPEG and GIF files.
May 31, 2006: Version 2.2 adds full compatibility with Intel-based Macs (with version 2, roughly a dozen actions were unfunctional on Intel Macs) as well as 2 new actions and more. A full list of bug fixes and feature changes is included here, and you’ll also find a copy in the included 61-page manual.
March 10, 2006: Version 2.0 of the Action Pack includes a dozen new actions and an entirely new architecture that completely eliminates several shortcomings of the first version.
Version 2 also packs a number of bug fixes, and many existing actions sport new features. A full list of bug fixes and feature changes is included, and you’ll also find a copy in the included 61-page manual.
Matthew - none I know of, but the iPhoto folder organization really isn’t that confusing; iPhoto up to 5 it’s year/month/day, and iPhoto 6 it’s Originals/year/roll name.

Do you know wether there is a plugin available to allow applications like Illustrator, Photoshop and Entourage to be able to view the iPhoto Library as you’ve organised it rather than as wierd incomprehensible list of irrelevantly dated folders and subfolders. I’m a light pro user of these applications and when I bought my new G5 I transferred my image archives to iPhoto as I quite like the viewer interface of this app. I’m regretting it though as I have to drag file to the desktop to be alble to find them within other non-apple applicaitons. Frustrating!
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sometimes updating the version of Stuffit Expander can help. I’ve sometimes run into archives that couldn’t be unstuffed with an Expander x.0, that worked fine in an x.0.1 release. (And Versiontracker is good for finding Expander’s direct download links if you don’t want to give them your email address)
