I am trying to process hundreds of photos in CS5. I have written an action to do all of the work necessary on a single image. Part of the task is to select an area so I need to pause the action to allow me to manually select the necessary areas. I can do this with the Insert Stop function fine. I have to turn off "allow continue", so that the action stops and I can dismiss the "stop" dialugue box. Only when the dialogue box is closed can I then use the magic wand to select the additional area. Then I click the action to start running again from where it left off.
This is all fine until I try and run this action on a number of files via the automate-batch command. As soon as the action hits the stop command and I close the stop command dialogue box, the batch process jumps in and says there has been a stop, do I want to continue batch processing or not, if I answer yes it continues straight away not letting me select the magic wand to do the manual selection I need.
I have been searching for a solution but can't find one - really frustrating! I really want to pause the action in a way that I can use the magic wand and not break the batch process. Can anyone help please?
