There are two simple reasons for that. First, Photoshop offers a variety of advanced tools to smooth out skin and hair, optimize body proportions and emphasize some beautiful details. And second, if you have some experience with Photoshop it is easy to learn the basics and quickly produce very impressive and beautiful results.

I know you’ve been waiting for this moment. As I could see by the comments in the previous post (one at the moment (thanks amigo malefico)). Now you can download the Donky the donkey (I must be clear with the nature of Donky due to some people said he was a monkey! :-| (thanks Tanda)). Donky is far to be in it’s final version but is functional enough to start animating.

While Automator can control many applications right out of the box, it lacks the ability to automate Photoshop. For Photoshop control, you need The Photoshop Action Pack, which provides everything necessary to drive Photoshop CS, CS2 and CS3 using Automator. This update, for Photoshop CS3 only, provides a couple of important bug fixes as well as 2 new actions.
