How do a create an Action for a process I will use over and over?

I want to do the same thing to a whole series of images. Is there a way to create an Action that would apply those processes to an entire image all at once, rather than going through each image and repeating the steps one at a time?

You didn't mention what application you are referring to, I assume Photoshop. If that is the case, the answer is yes. In the actions palette, you can record all the steps. Select "new action" and see the record button. Do your steps and select the stop button. After that just choose your new action on your selected image and hit play. I have a few of my own. Also the batch process works too on several at a time. Have fun.

or in lightroom, just copy the develop settings and paste them to all the other images.

In LR3 you can select all images and then click the one you want to use the settings from (It will be a solid white vs the dim white of the other selections) and click sync.

As has been mentioned, the software you are using makes all the difference. Photoshop CSx gives you the ability to create and "play" Actions on batches of images. Other software takes different approaches and may or may not facilitate easy batch processing.

I am sorry. I am using CS3.

Where is the actions palette, lol?

Upper right some where?

Go under the "Window" menu, you will see Actions, make sure it is checked. If not it is hidden.

Make your very first action - HTH.
