Re: Cannot figure out how to automate in Photoshop 7

If I choose as the last step in my acion "Save as..." in PS CS it always
works great. But I open the file before I create the action, maybe this
could be the solution.

You're right. PS is so complex, that I think everybody only uses a small
percentage of the program.
