Part 6: Insert pauses for user intervention

Ok, you’ve recorded your first action. Congratulations! But there’s a tiny bit more to do.

If we ran the action on a photo right now, it would simply run from start to finish, with the standard settings that we recorded. That’s not entirely desirable – there are a couple of points at which we’d like some control.

It’s easy – just click in the blank column to add little black boxes beside the steps at which you’d like to intervene. For this action, we’d like to pause at the Duplicate step to add a file name, and we’d like to pause at the Unsharp Mask step to precisely control our sharpening.
