It is called a droplet. You don't really import them into Lightroom though. Lightroom uses the droplet on export, opening PS and running your chosen action on the exported files. I created one last night for the first time and it worked great (once I configured my action properly ;) ). I used this threadfor some assitance.

Thanks, so it's basically telling LR to run the action after export?
Cheers.

Exactly, Ed. That's what I want it for; to add a border and a watermark to my 800px images.

You still need Photoshop installed for this to work. People keep forgetting this. Since I installed CS3, Lightroom hasn't been run.


people will always try to stop you doing the right thing if it is unconventional
Full frame and some primes.

Yes, you still need Photoshop. And since I installed Lightroom I have found no need for CS3.;)
