Photoshop Quick save script
 
     
 

Description:
If you are someone needed to work on the same PSD file, flatten the layers, removing all channels, and saving it to a same file over and over .... and over again, this script may just be what you have been looking for. As a CG artist, I have always needed to update the same textures, render, and update the same texture again. I don't find it exciting to keep navigating from folder to folder to save. Also, I usually have lots of channels in my PSD file and there isn't a command in Photoshop to remove all channels at the same time. So, another script I have written just to do this.

  
  Installation:
Copy the jsx scripts, copy them into:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Presets\Scripts\

Launch Photoshop and you will find the script is located at:
File -> Script

You can execute the scipt from here, or make it into Actions and assign a shortcut key to it.
  
 
Concept:
In order to making this script to work, you will need to copy the path of the TIF file you wish to replace into the Author field of the PSD file. To do that, open your working PSD file inside Photoshop. Select File --> File Info, this will open a new window. Copy and paste the exact file path into the Author field:

What this script does is, first make a duplicate of your PSD, flatten all layers, delete all channels, then look into the author field and use the information there to overwrite the file you specified. That's about all. The nice thing about this script is, it doesn't matter where or what PSD files you are working with, so long is there is a path in the author field, and you will only need to do it one time, it will use that to do the saving and overwritting.

What I did personally, is to create an action that run the script and close it without saving. So everytime I just need to press a key and the script will do the rest of the job for me. I won't even need to remember the path of the file to overwrite. Of course if you need to know, you can always go back to the file info.
