Oh ok. if it's for a members area it's worth it. I don't think there are any actions that could be programed to do what you are doing but I think you could get away with simple collor correction and nice fat thumbs like you are doing. As for keeping the image sizes down with thumbs you really should only ge getting 4k with a 125x125 with poor comperession anyways. With really good compression 3.5k is average.
One tip. Stay away from drop shadows. They really increse file size and make light colored skin look washed out. To make the girl stand out just cut her out from the full sized pic and apply a stoke of 2 pixel 50 percent opacity #000000, merge visible with an empty backgorund to make it editable as a whole and create a 3 pixel border around the girl and add a light gaussian blur to her her border. That will give that really crisp standout look to her. If you do this trick with a dark colored background such as #800000 she will radiate from the background and file size will be minimal.
