Tried to make a droplet several times after finding the work around on youtube to make it work (debug solution, open droplet on desktop then quit).The Droplet saves 2 files not 1. A .tif (not wanted or requested) and a .jpg with a 'copy' inserted in ('copy' not wanted) is this related to the 'save as a copy' saving protocol imposed by photoshop? any suggestions on a fix?

It sounds like this happens because the original file has properties that are not supported in the jpeg file format specification. If you include steps in the action that removes these properties (layers, 16 bit, alpha channels, transparency) - then jpeg will be available in a normal Save As. Otherwise it goes to Save A Copy.

It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Launch Photoshop, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.

Hi @Paulie1000 can you post the specific action showing the steps you used to make the droplet? Do you have "Legacy Save As" active before you made the action?
