Even if you hate scripting, it's well worth looking at some of the useful & free scripts that are supplied with OS X. There are Folder Actions for duplicating images, resizing and saving as jpegs, creating HTML pages etc just sitting there, waiting to be used :-) > Will the above script work on PSD files?

As I mentioned, this is only a quick example - so it is very limited in what it can do. If you don't want LZW you can replace "-LZW" with "-none". If you want to duplicate files you'll need to add a few more lines of script to make the whole thing a lot more robust. Click here if you're using OS X to see how you do it when it's not just an *example*: <file:///Library/Scripts/Folder%20Action%20Scripts/Image%20-%20Duplicate%20a s%20JPEG.scpt> You can see that it gets a bit more complicated when you need to make a script that is for public use :-( -- Martin Orpen Idea Digital Imaging Ltd -- The Image Specialists http://www.idea-digital.com =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
