Hi, I'm new to photoshop and I'm using it for an iOS game. I'd like to automate (as much as possible) the creation of the PNG files I need, based on the PSD files that I maintain. So, I have my "golden copies" of the PSD files which I'll manipulate and change as needed, but I'd like to avoid the "save as" step. I was thinking of writing a bash script or something (I'm on Mac OS) that would run a tool across all the PSD files in a directory, and just export PNGs but now I'm thinking that (since the PNG should only ever need to be updated when the source PSD is updated) I could just setup a custom automated step that generates the PNG when I hit save for the source PSD.

At any rate, any one have any ideas or input based on this kind of workflow? There are no doubt better ways to handle all of this that I don't even know about so I'd appreciate any help and any references to documents or READMEs would be appreciated to. Thank you.
