If you "Insert a Stop" you get a blank dialog box where you enter the note. Hope this helps!

Your welcome Shari! I'm glad I could help.

Also, I just came across this tutorial/tips article on creating actions. You can find it here:

This may be an old thread but as a cs5 beginner. This is great link , thanks. Adding cs5 to my pse4 is going to be a long trip, so i am looking for goodies to learn from.

:o I was so surprised when I opened this thread to see 2 long-lost forum members reappear. Then I noticed that this is an old thread.

Judy, I don't think you will ever regret moving from PSE4 to CS5 - what a huge leap. :thumbsup: The learning curve will not be short. I have CS3 & I'm still finding wonderful secrets after 2+ years. Being able to record actions is a huge time saver & well worth the effort to learn. Have fun discovering all the wonderful powers of your marvelous program. (I hope to upgrade to CS5 soon & am looking forward to it's camera raw.)

Betty if you have any tips on recording actions do share them. I have so many ideas i want to share as an action but am not sure how an individual can use the action with their photo not mine. I have a lamp that i put a photo in and i want to let others use it with their photo. I have not gotten to go other the above tut yet . I am hoping it will help.

Judy, I'll find some more tuts which helped me & post them. I know other members will likely share some tips as well. Actions can be shared, but they need to be recorded with certain steps, as a good tutorial will demonstrate.
