If we saw how you're doing it now, it would help to tell you what to
change.  Someone else probably would have to do that because I don't
have Photoshop, so I've never scripted it.

Sorry my explanation was not clear. Right now the script converts psd
files to jpg files and saves those jpg files to the same folder that
the psd files were in. That is what the script is doing now. It would
be much better for me, though, if the jpg files were saved to a
different folder.

What I meant was if you provided the code you're using now to save the files, it would help someone figure out what needs to be changed.


Here are some changes I would suggest in general:

if y ends with ".psd" then
		set new_y to (characters 1 thru -5 of y) as string
	else if y ends with ".tif" then
		set new_y to (characters 1 thru -5 of y) as string
	else if y ends with ".tiff" then
		set new_y to (characters 1 thru -6 of y) as string

set OFset to offset of "." in y
if text OFset thru end of y is in {".psd", ".tif", ".tiff"} then set new_y to text 1 through (OFset - 1) of y


set new_y to new_y & ".jpg"

if new_y does not end with ".jpg" then set new_y to new_y & ".jpg"

By the way, I think you can accomplish the same thing using the Image Events suite in Applescript itself.
