Hello,

I’m fairly new to PS, although I’ve been playing with it for a bit of time now. I’m using Photoshop 7, and trying to get a good grip on the macro capabilities.

I have an psp image with several layers. I need to save the image with different combinations of layers turned off and on, and save the images as PNG files. I need to control which layers are on/off, so I don’t mind manually doing that, and so I made a macro that will choose the "Save as…" and save the current view as a PNG file.

The problem is that the macro saves the file with the same filename each time.
Is there some way to have it auto increment the filename? For instance:
I set the image the way I like, and hit the macro to create a PNG file called
christmas_cover01.png
then make some more changes, and hit the macro to automagically create christmas_cover02.png
and another change, hitting the macro to autocreate
christmas_cover03.png
etc…

Thanks.
