Digital Image Automatic Post Processing?

[akindo]

Hello friends! I am new to this forum, it looks like a great place to learn. I take photos with 35 mm SLR (slide and black and white film) and a Canon IXUS 400 compact digital camera. The digital images often seem to be a bit too bright and faded. I have found great tutorials on how to fix up the images manually. However, this is time consuming. So, for publishing hundreds of photos to the Internet, I would like to know which automatic post processing technique is the best. For example, doing a batch process of the images in Photoshop using "Automatic Levels" and "Automatic Color" (but in which order?). Any better recommendations?

Thank you VERY much for any tips.

Well, Paint Shop Pro 8 has a standard action called "1-step photo fix" (or something like that), but I'm rarely satisfied with its results. Sometimes, its even worse than the original.

i'm not sure how you go about doing it...but i know you can make an "action" that will do one at a time...but by itself...or by pressing "play" a couple times...
i'd like to know this info too
