adobe photoshop. bridgem, and raw question

This probably isn't the right place to ask, but I can't find better just now.

I need to do something simple in Photoshop CS2.

I want to open a group of raw files and process them all the same.

That is, open a raw (Canon) file, apply a simple .xmp recipe to it,
rotate it, and save it as a 16 bit TIFF. I already have the recipe file.

Exactly what sequence of things do I need to do to do this? I simply
can't figure it out. The Adobe Raw seems to block certain needed
things.

How do I record the needed "actions" in camera raw? Etc???

You can't. The best you can do is apply the settings to one
image then use "Save settings..." to write a .xmp file to
use on other images. The "save" settings like TIFF, 16-bit,
etc aren't saved but they're "sticky" so they won't change
once you set them. As far as I know the rotation won't be
saved either, but that's easily done as an action in
Photoshop anyway.
