I had a friend write a script that takes picture files I choose (via drag
and drop though some interface, AppleSrcipt Studio???) and runs them
through a host of Photoshop processes. The purpose of the script is to
automate work while I continue on other tasks. The problem is that every
time a new picture is opened in Photoshop, Photoshop becomes the forground
application bumping whatever I was working on behind.

The script is great and gets a lot of work done fast but renders the
computer vertually useless while the script is running because of the
constant popping up of Photoshop. Is there anything I can add to the
script to keep Photoshop running as a background application only?

Do you see any "activate" commands in the script? If so, change them to:

-- activate

This might fix the current problem but create another. I'm not familiar with Photoshop so I don't know if there is a requirement that it be frontmost to perform its tasks.
