Then, click on the 'Record' button in the upper right hand corner. To initiate a Watch Me Do session, launch Automator and choose a template (you can incorporate it into an existing Automator workflow, service or app as well). It performs keyboard- and mouse-based actions based on your movements and inputs during a Watch Me Do session. And this is where Automator's 'Watch Me Do' feature may come in handy. However, there may be situations that call for more unique tasks to be performed. Similarly, image-based actions allow you to batch edit images, be it resizing, rotating or changing their file type (i.e., from JPG to PNG or vice versa).

For example, with a Finder-based action, you can batch move copy, move or rename files that fit a certain criteria. Mac OS X's Automator has the ability to perform specific tasks from its given set of actions.
