You can create a droplet of any set of actions. Saving the droplet to the desktop is a time saver if you plan to use those actions on many files in one folder or plan to use these same specs often. A droplet is a customized batch process application. Drag and drop file or folder of files on the droplet will open program and batch process the actions. In ImageReady you right click on the action in the actions palette and first select Batch Options to set where you want the resulting files to go then Create Droplet. In Photoshop click on action in actions palette then click on File - Automate - Create Droplet. It's great for repetitive work but can also be used on one image.
