would someone be willing to make a action for me

I have been trying to make a action for days and have read all I can in the Photoshop help files but still can’t seem to get it right.
What I am trying to do is open a image then the action would do the following.

1. make 2 duplicates of the image
2. resize dulicate 1 to 400 pixels X 400 pixels
3. resize duplicate 2 to 125 pixels X 125 pixels

then I would end up with 3 images, original, dup 1 & dup 2
whenever I record a new action and go thru all the steps to get what I am wanting, for some reason when I run the action I just get one resize.

There’s an easier way that will work:

1. Resize the image to 400 x 400 pixels
2. Save the image to a another folder
3. Resize the image to 125 x 125 pixels
4. Save the image to yet another folder

This way you end up with the three images you want: The original in it’s own folder, the 400 x 400 version in the 400 x 400 folder, and the 125 x 125 version in the 125 x 125 folder.

Let me clarify what I am asking for… A action so that I can use it on any image I want. I might have 100 images that I need to do this process to, if I had a action I could just open the original and then play the action and that image process would be done.

I know how to do what I want manually, I’m just trying to make a "action" to make it easier to work on many images..

Make the new action and record:
1. Click record
2. Click on the triangle at the top right corner to get the context menu. Click on insert menu item.
3. Click on Image/duplicate.
4. Click on Image/resize and set the size you want, click ok.
4. Click on the little triangle again and insert menu item.
5. Click on Image/duplicate.
6. Click on Image/resize, set size click ok.
7. Stop recording and play the action on the desired image. I am using PS 7.01 but it should work in any version.

Hope this helps. If you can’t get it to work send me your email address and I will send the one I just recorded.

Thanks Don,
But I did figure it out by doing it over and over until I found my mistake.
