: How to make a selection that converts some portion of the image into sketch through the action in photoshop? Ok I want to create an action in Photoshop that will be applicable on the area

@Correia448

In your action create a new layer with the name "Selection".

Pause there and ask for the user paint the areas they'd like to convert.

Then once the layer has been painted on resume the action and create a step that selects the pixels of the "Selection" layer (right click on the layer preview > select pixels).

Then go on with your action. This way when you play back your action, a new layer will be created, the user will paint the selection, then the action can use that painted area to create the selection.

I will try to edit this later with a bit more step by step info, but hopefully this will point you in the right direction.
