Hello. I'm new to this whole Mac experience and I really want to get the most from my MBP. Been fooling around w/ Automator and trying things, but no luck. Tried to Google and the explanations were too technical w/ spotlight and all.

Does anyone have sites to where a Mac n00b like myself can go learn Automator step-by-step?
I have a large collection of photos organized in albums which I like to batch rename and such.

Thanks for any help

Did some digging and came up with this video introduction, totally worth a look if you're new to Automator.

My pleasure, and if you really want to increase your productivity, get Quicksilver There's nothing like it on any other platform but make sure you check the Quicksilver forums too, because it's capable of so many things it'll take a while to master all the features.
