    I am creating a basic Automator service so that I can select a group of images and resize them for our CMS. The thing that keeps messing me up is that I can't find a good way to make the resized images save to the directory where the current images are. I want to keep them grouped and not have to save them to the Desktop or some other arbitrary folder. Does anyone know of a good way to tell an automator service to save to the current directory? Thanks.

    That's just what I needed! Thanks for the reply. I apologize for the delay. I hadn't checked back after heading off to a conference. Thanks again.

    Since I took that screenshot, Automator has been updated. What you're looking for now is the "Rename Finder Items" Action, under Files & Folders in the library. That Action has a drop down box that lets you select multiple renaming methods, one of which is "Replace Text".
