Saved images automatically appear in flipped images folder

[tikka3]

I have been having a peculiar problem with saving images lately. Basically whenever i save an image (jpg, tif, etc) from photoshop or illustrator, the images mysteriously appear (always flipped upside down) in an automatically generated folder on my desktop called "flipped images". when i throw this folder away, a new one will always appear when i try to save an image. i even reinstalled the adobe software and it did not fix the problem. does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? it is extremely annoying.

i'm running the adobe CS package on Mac OSX 10.3.8

thanks

Did you happen to enable any folder action applescripts for your Desktop folder? Check if any are present by right-clicking (control-click if you only have one mouse button) on the "Desktop", and choosing 'Configure Folder Actions'. Remove any actions that are enabled there, and see if it fixes it. Apart from that, I don't see how that could possibly happen.

Tperkins seesms to be correct in that many prebuilt folder actions match your problem. You could right click on your desktop and select "disable folder actions" and then do a save and see what happens.

Somebody also could have created Actions in PS and ILL for this. You could open the Actions palette in each and disable Default Actions - or any others - and see what happens.
