Time savers in PS are called "Actions". Record your action once, run anytime.
I may suggest to look for a raw converter/CS "preprocessor" designed to follow a photographers workflow. PS CS is a powerful instrument, but it's history/origin as a graphic designers workbench doesn't fit well into photographers world. Lightroom, Aperture instead are powerful tools for photographers. (Haven't worked with CaptureOne, maybe it fits as well). LR doesn't support things like layers (well, *one* layer with limited options is there) or plug-ins or softproof and some other stuff.
I use both, LR + CS (+ CS plug-ins and PTgui) and that's not going to change, I think. About 90 percent of the photos are done in LR only, lower percentage if ISO is pushed to and over the limits (third party noise removal plug-in in CS).
Ciao, Walter
