Controlling the Playback of a Command
Not all actions are created perfect. Sooner or later, you'll work through the process of action building only to find out (after the action is saved), you forgot a step, or need to remove or modify an existing step. You might even need to change the order of the commands in the action. Fortunately, Photoshop doesn't make you recreate the action; all you have to do is modify it. When you create an action, all of the commands execute in the order they appear in the command list. However, it's possible you might occasionally want to skip one of the commands in the list, without permanently deleting it.

Control the Playback of a Command
Open a document, and then select the Actions palette.
Click the expand triangle of the action you want to modify.
Uncheck the command or commands you do not want to execute.
Click the Play button on the Actions palette to run the action without executing the unchecked command.
Recheck the command to return it to executable status.[View full size image]
