How to Stop an Action for an Adjustment Layer in Photoshop
A Photoshop action is an automation tool that allows you to record predetermined sets of steps. You then use the actions to speed up the processing of other images following the steps you recorded. Actions normally work without any user interaction. It is possible, however, to introduce a pause in the action, during which Photoshop prompts the user for input and allows for customization of various settings for complex tools such as adjustment layers.
