How do you save with relative addressing when creating an action?

By that I mean this:

You want to create an action to batch process many PSD's and save as TIFFs.

You create the action with files in (harddrive) folder A. You then load pictures from folder B and run the action. It saves to folder A because actions apparently use absolute addressing.

How do you either:
- create an action that utilizes relative addressing and saves files back into the folder they were loaded from

or

- manually edit the SAVE portion of an action to change the Save location?

Does CS2 have the Image Processor? File>Scripts>Image Processor...in CS3, you can pick one action to run. The Processor apply the parameters you set (including the action) then saves as new files in a folder of your choosing.

Yes, it does! Under File / Scripts. I've never used it - never knew it was there. I'll take a look at what it does. Thanks! /Dan
