Can someone tell me if it's possible to create macros in Photoshop? I want to beable to do repetitive task at the stroke of a keyboard shortcut or at least through a menu option.
I've had a look at the automate option but haven't figured out what I can do with this.
I am using version 7.0.
Any help would be greatfully appreciated.
Thanks.

You want to learn about actions.
Look at the flyout arrow on the actions palette and create a new action. Then begin recording your action by making the modifications you want to become an action, on a file. When you have finished all of the steps you want Photoshop to perform automatically, stop recording.
Then choose a file (or folder with the files) you want to modify, and run the action while you sit back and relax.
A word of caution: when you run an action (especially for the first time), it's best not to overwrite your original files, but save the modified versions to a separate folder for safety's sake. Always keep a copy of your original files intact. Ignore this advice and you will learn this lesson the hard way.
