I am trying to make an action that saves the same image with two different sizes and I don’t want it to prompt for any interaction with the user. I also want to save the images in the same folder as the original. I don’t know how to save a copy without having the action throwing me a window to ask me the name.

I want this to make a droplet for both mac and windows.

Thanks in advance.

What version of Photoshop. If using 11.0.1, the current version, try installing Dr. Brown Services by Russel Brown, the same author of the Image Processor. Essentially the latter on steroids. B)

It’s free from Russel’s web site.

No action needed.

Or search the Scripting-forum were such matters have been dealt with, too. Scripts can be recorded into Actions and those made into Droplets by the way.

Incidentally, the reason I mention CS4 (11.0.1) specifically is that Russell pulled the version he had created for CS3.

Christoph knows what he’s talking about. As for me, I couldn’t script my way out of a paper bag. XD

Thanks a lot Ramón, I’m downloading Dr. Brown’s Adobe Photoshop CS4 Scripts right now and will give it a try.

Before posting my question I searched at the scripting forum but didn’t find what I was looking for. Maybe I didn’t know how to search what I wanted, I’ll go and search again.

Thanks again
