Thanks in advance!!!

yes, but first:

Window > Actions

Click the New Action button

Name it, then hit Record.

Do all the things you want to do to the other photos.

Click the Stop button on the Actions pallette.

File > Automate > Batch
Select the Directory, the appropriate Action, and the Output Settings and Go for it

basically open your actions panel and select the record button, then go through all the steps you would do for the filter you want, even closing and saving the file....then hit stop on the action panel

then go to file>batch (i think) and follow the instructions
