There are a number of actions that can be automatically run during Hi-Res production. These fall into two areas:

1. Custom Actions applied to images (Preferences -> Hi-Res Production -> Custom Effects Actions)
2. Image Actions that you setup (Preferences -> Hi-Res Production -> General Actions)

Please see the ProSelect Reference Manual (under the Help Menu in ProSelect) for details on each of the above sections.

Checking for Actions

If you are not sure if an action is being run, or are finding unexpected actions being run, then a good way to track this down is to view the script being generated for Photoshop using the procedure in the article Debugging Production Problems.

Look through the script for the words "doAction". This is the command that runs an action in Photoshop.

  eg doAction('Sepia Toning (layer)','Default Actions');

The above command is running the action called "Sepia Toning (layer)" from the "Default Actions" set.

HINT: If you copy and paste the entire script to a text editor then you can easily search for the words "doAction".

Once you find the names of any actions are being run, then you can check your Preferences settings in ProSelect for where this action is setup and make the necessary changes.

B&W and Sepia Image Effects

If you are using an image effect (B&W, Sepia) and is being carried through to Production, then please see the section "What happens in Production" in the article "B&W and Sepia Image Workflow" on how to check and change this.
