: Prompting to make a selection in a Photoshop action A little help with creating an action. I'm trying to crop a bunch of photos and apply some filters to them. The problem is I want to crop

I don't think it is possible to script a prompt for a selection since the action recorded uses precise dimensions. If you record a selection of 400 x 600, that is what it will use each time.

But what you CAN do is


Create 2 separate actions for before and after your selection.
Assign a shortcut key (Function like F1) to those actions.
Now, hit the shortcut for the first action, make your selection, then hit the second action.


This should speed up your workflow.
