AskMetachat! Help me make a fire-and-forget digital sketchbook.→[More:]

So I've got this wacom tablet, and I'm having a lovely time with the drawing, but I kind of wish there was an easy way to sketch, save and forget with (at least very nearly) push-button ease.

Right now, I draw something, and then play a quick game of Keep Or Don't—if it's "worth keeping", I go to the trouble of saving it out to a file (stop what I'm doing, save, filename, filetype, cool, new file), and if not I just wipe the canvas and start again.

What I'd like to do is eliminate that "trouble" part. I'd like to finish sketching something and hit the Big Red Button and have:

- the drawing saved
- as a high-quality jpg (these are small sketches)
- into a generic sketchbook directory, with a plain old incremental filename
- the file closed
- and another new file kicked open

I realize there may not actually be a good way to make that on big button, but a means of streamlining or simulating down to something very close to that process would be great. (For example, draw a bunch, leave 'em open, and then do a batch save-and-close.)

The best kluge I've thought of is to do a pile of sketches, leave 'em open, do a big batch save when I'm done, save as Untitled-1.psd, -2, -3, then go back and do a big Batch convert on them to render them unto a displayable format (jpg, generally). My complaint with that is that (a) I've got a stack of maintenance to do at the end of a sketching session, that way, and (b) there might be resource-use limitations with enough sketches going (though I haven't tested that theory yet).

Is there any way to improve on that kluge? Could this question get any longer? Inquiring minds, etc.

I'm currently sketching in a copy of PS Elements 3.0 that came with the hardware, and it's nice enough. If there are other free/cheap tablet-centric brush/pen-and-ink-ish apps I should play around with, that'd be excellent too.
