Hi all! I'm working on a new project that requires me to save a psd and png version of each file. While I don't use actions that often, I thought I could just record one that does this...

save
-ashotoshop
-in:C:\desktop\psd file

then

save
-asng format
-in: C:\destop\png file

The idea is that I have 1 psd version to edit, and 1 png to export to another program. There are number of problems doing this the way the action is set up now such as photoshop saving a "copy" version of each file every time I re-save, and the target directories getting mixed up. I'm not quite sure what to do next! Any help is greatly appreciated!
