Running a batch in the background?

I'm hoping you guys can help as I've asked this on PotN and a PS forum I've used in the past. Anywho, I switched to mac in January and have been loving every minute of it EXCEPT when I batch export from LR using an action in PS (CS4)... When I had a windows machine, I'd hit export from LR, it would pull up the typical box, I'd select my droplet for the list and away it'd go handling everything in the background. You'd see CS pop up on the taskbar, and at most you'd need to minimize it once, but then you could go back to LR and work on the next set of images or go browse online, or anything else.

Now with the mac, when I export from LR2.2 (or 2.3, whichever you need for the 5Dii) and do the same thing, EACH TIME CS4 opens a file it comes to the front. I tend to batch 50~200 shots at a time, and CS4 is running noise ninja on each among other things so this takes a while. Right now no matter that I do it pops up for each image.

Even if I skip LR and just batch them myself using ONLY photoshop, same thing....

anyone know if I've missed a setting in there somewhere that will allow me to batch a bunch of shots then use my computer for other things?

Thanks,
Ben Jacobsen
