Photoshop :: PS3 Droplet Called From Command Line In...

I am a researcher interested in anxiety disorders in young children. As part of a functional magnetic resonace brain imaging study we need to compare children's responses to familiar and unfamiliar faces. The latter are no problem, but for the former we need to take pictures of the children's mothers and process them "on the fly" so that they can be incorporated into stimulus sets presented in the MRI machine (otherwise known as the "magnet").

For presentation in the magnet, the images have to be in a particular format. I have created an action that produces the appropriate format, and a PS3 droplet that behaves appropriately (outputs correctly modified files to the stated address) when a Windows XP (SP3) folder is dropped on it.

However, I need to automate the procedure further because it will be executed by individuals with little or no understanding of PS etc.

It occurred to me that I could call my droplet from the XP command line with the folder containing the relevant files as an argument (and then I would be able to incorporate this function into an overall control program).
