    What you want to do is to create an action. You record any action you want (like converting images to black&white, etc.) and then run it as a batch.

    Here's a video I made soime time ago which shows how to make an action in Photoshop:

    Master Actions in Photoshop CS6 - Part 1 - YouTube

    and here's second part on how to run it through a batch process on a number of images:

    I hope this helps
