In the Photoshop world it is called "Actions". In the Gimp world they are called "Script-fu". If you look at just the names, Script-fu wins hands down. You see the name "Script-fu", and you start to imagine yourself as some martial arts imaging master. Hiii-ya!

I wanted to automate the smart sharpening technique I have used for most of my images. If I had to create this "Action" under Photoshop I imagine it might take me about 1 hour to learn how to record the tasks, and create Action that I like. However, I don't have Photoshop (yet), so I Script-Fu'd my Gimp. I now have a nice automated utility, but it took me about 3 hours to get there. If any wants my source, let me know I'll try and find a place to post it.
