Is it possible to script and pipe data thru application
software on a Macintosh similar to unix?

For example, I have 5 24-bit PICT images stored on my
hard drive.  I want to print black & white versions of
these images on my laser printer.  And I'm using Adobe  
PhotoShop to print the PICT images.

I would rather not have to manually open each file,
convert to greyscale, change the gamma setting from 1
to 2 and then print each.  

I would much rather setup an automatic routine ( a
script ) which will read each file, convert to greyscale,
change the gamma and then print each image.

It would be ideal if this could be done in the back
ground, but I'll settle for the foreground.
