I created a action in Photoshop to automate the conversion of the Image Compression from LZW to None on a large number of TIFF files that were scanned in another application. Everything works fine except it’s not actually changing the TIFF Image Compression to None.

How do I force Photoshop action to save the Image compression?

I believe the action has to explicitly record changing the setting to none. IF you recorded the action with a tiff that was already set to none, it won’t see that anything was done to the compression setting. Open up an image and have the compression set to something else, then record an extra step in your action of you changing the setting to "none". You should then see compression set to none as one of your action steps.

Also, I seem to vaguely recall that an older version of PS had a bug that didn’t allow you to convert form an LZW compressed TIFF to an uncompressed one. Teh solution was to save as a PSD as an intermediate step.
