Batch/Action Question for CS

[johnmarkpainter]

I just got Photoshop CS and am trying to build some good action sets. I use Dr Brown's

Image converter and have a good grasp on making my own actions.

 

BUT

 

I commonly use Auto-Levels and then Fade the results to taste. Is there a way for me to

Batch that way? The File opens, runs my Sharpening etc...Auto-Levels and then PAUSE me

to approve or tweek....then Continue on to the next part of the action?

 

Thanks

<p>You can insert a stop through the fly-away menu. Also for steps like Level, Sharpening, etc. (including Fading) you can display the dialog box so you have a chance to adjust the values. In the action palette, click the empty box next to the step.

I found the "Take Advantage of Photoshop Actions" article here to be very helpful.

Thanks....I knew it was in there somewhere. I just didn't know what to look for. There is a

lot of Strategy in Photoshop use that isn't really covered in the manual.
