TOPIC APPEARS IN:

Exclude commands from an action

You can exclude commands that you don’t want to play as part of a recorded action. You can’t exclude commands in Button mode.

  1. If necessary, expand the listing of commands in the action by clicking the triangle to the left of the action name in the Actions palette.
  2. Do one of the following:

    • To exclude a single command, click to clear the check mark to the left of the command name. Click again to include the command.

    • To exclude or include all commands or actions in an action or set, click the check mark to the left of the action or set name.

    • To exclude or include all commands except the selected command, Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) its check mark.

      To indicate that some of the commands within the action are excluded, in Photoshop the check mark of the parent action turns red; in Illustrator the check mark of the parent action becomes dimmed.
