Excluding commands

You can exclude commands that you don't want to play as part of a recorded action. In Photoshop, you must be in list mode--not button mode--to exclude commands.

To exclude or include a command:

1. To expand the listing of commands in an action, click the triangle to the left of the action you want to work with.
2. Click the check mark to the left of the specific command you wish to exclude; click again to include the command. To exclude or include all commands in an action, click the check mark to the left of the action name.

When you exclude a command, its check mark disappears. In addition, the check mark of the parent action turns red to indicate that some of the commands within the action are excluded.
