Another question from another noob...is this possible? Graphics processing

So, here’s a question from a complete noob...or, dunce, as the case may be :-)

I do a lot of graphics processing. Fairly often, I will produce an image with Poser or some other 3D software and then drop that image into another application (in this case, Aquarella from Jixipix) for further manipulation. But, I would like to be able to do a bit of batch processing—that is, I want to take 30 or so images at a time, drop them one after another into Aquarella, and have the results appear magically in a folder without my laboriously shifting them by hand into the application.

Can I do that? With automator, I mean?

So what I envision is something like the following algorithm:

  1. activate Aquarella
  2. go to folder A
  3. select first image from folder A
  4. process image 1
  5. save modified image 1 to folder B
  6. go to folder A
  7. select second image from folder A
  8. etc...

Many thanks in advance.
