copy

I don't want to add the word "copy" at the end of file names. I made the necessary settings for this. Photoshop no longer uses this word when saving a photo. However, when I prepare an "action", it always adds the word "copy" at the end of the file names. I could not solve this problem so far. Thanks for yor helps.

Your action may be downsampling therefore it has to create a copy not overwrite to be non-destructive.

If I make the photo 8 bit, I do not encounter this problem. Why do I have to do this?

hi @serkanmutan this has been covered extensively in this forum - set your preferences for legacy save as and do not append copy then rerecord your action - paying attention to the save window.

Thanks a lot Kevin. I do not encounter any problems when I want to save the file manually. When I do this with the "action" command, I am not successful.
