Photoshop Actions Save Location

[mompcomike]

I created an action years ago that saves the file I am working in and subsequently saves it as a cmyk tiff. Now Photoshop does both saves in the directory I originally created the action in. I want it to save it in the working directory. It is a pain to have to change to the working directory every time I perform this action. Can anyone help. This may have been answered somewhere, but it is too hard to find an answer when you have to wade through all the answers that don't apply to my situation.

Re-record it.

You can also re-record / edit individual steps in the action by double-clicking the step.

If you do a batch from Bridge you can choose where you want to save the images. In Bridge, go to Tools, Photoshop and choose Batch.

Can you provide screenshots or type out examples of the directory/folder paths in the action?

Actions either record computer specific absolute paths or absolute paths + filenames. These recorded paths and names can be overridden using automate/batch, but not from simply playing the action by itself.

If you require relative paths, a script would be required for the save step.
