Get contents of unzipped folders

Question

I receive multiple ZIP files at a time containing photos. I wrote a script or started to write one that does the following:
1. prompts to select the ZIP files
2. prompts to create a new folder
3. copies the ZIPs to the new folder
4. I then 'open' these ZIP files with StuffItExpander to unzip them into the new folder
I'm left with the original copy of the ZIP file and a new folder named after the ZIP file with the photos unzipped all in the same folder.
How can I then go into each one of the unzipped folders and copy/move the JPG files into yet a different folder? I will have to do it recursively methinks as there are multiple unzipped folders.
Baffling me.
TIA

OK, I played around with it some more, and think I got it right - I hope Leopard's Automator is better, because I sure found Tiger's frustrating (but then again, it is probably just me). The Automator actions seem to be a bit simplified, so I had to break them up into separate Shell Script and AppleScript actions. I don't know if the way is any "easier", but here they are (they are designed to be used together):
1) Paste the following into a Run Shell Script action (using the standard /bin/bash shell and passing the input as arguments):
<pre title="" style="font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; width: 720px; color: #000000; background-color: #E0E0E0; overflow: auto">for f in "$@"
do
# find regular files, no "dot" files, case insensitive, ending with ".jpg"
usr/bin/find "$f" -type f -not -name '.*' -and -iname '*.jpg'
done
</pre>
This Shell Script accepts Files/Folders from a Finder action such as "Ask for Finder Items", and uses find to output a list of matching items for the following AppleScript.
2) Paste the following into a Run AppleScript action:
<pre title="" style="font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; width: 720px; color: #000000; background-color: #E0E0E0; overflow: auto">on run {input, parameters} -- convert file paths from the "find" shell script
if input is not {""} then -- input is a list of POSIX files found
set TheResult to {}
repeat with AnItem in input
set the end of TheResult to (AnItem as POSIX file) as alias
end repeat
return TheResult -- output is a list of Finder aliases
else
display alert "Find error" message "No matching files found - workflow cancelled"
error number -128 -- user cancelled
end if
end run
</pre>
This AppleScript converts the POSIX files returned from the previous Shell Script to Finder aliases, which can be used in a FInder action such as "Copy Finder items".
The complete workflow (tested in OS X 10.4.11 Automator 1.0.5) is:
1) Ask for Finder items (type:folder, no multiple selections)
2) The above Run Shell Script action
3) The above Run AppleScript action
4) Copy Finder items (no replacing)
good luck
