I am trying to create an process and action that does the following:
- Process outside of PS that stages files for edit
- PS Action to set selection(s) (each selection is on its own channel) on the original tif
- PS Action to open Background template file (.bmp file)
- PS Action to paste selection(s) in place (from channels) into .bmp file
- PS Action to flatten document
- PS Action to Save As a .bmp using the current file name one directory up
- Process outside of PS that cleans up and moves files
I am good on steps 1 through 5 and 7, but cannot figure out step 6 in a Win7 environment. Basically, I edit images in a staging folder before moving them to the parent. Then the parent folder is cleaned up and pulled into a permanent storage location. So the workspace looks like this:
Starting file structure (three .bmp files and two subfolders in ...\parent)
...\parent\File1.bmp {old}
...\parent\File2.bmp
...\parent\File3.bmp
...\parent\Delete\
...\parent\Working\
Next step: New File1.tif is sourced and placed in Working Folder, Current File1 is moved to Delete Folder
...\parent\File2.bmp
...\parent\File3.bmp
...\parent\Delete\File1.bmp {old}
...\parent\Working\File1.tif
Next step: Edit File1.tif in Working Folder and run final action - Save As .bmp in one folder up (...\parent\)
...\parent\File1.bmp {new}
...\parent\File2.bmp
...\parent\File3.bmp
...\parent\Delete\File1.bmp {old}
...\parent\Working\File1.tif
Last step, Cleanup: Remove the Delete/Working subfolders, move files to new location
...\parent\File1.bmp {new}
...\parent\File2.bmp
...\parent\File3.bmp
How can I do the Save As step??
