Setting Auto Action preferences

You can automate actions that must be performed in order to further edit an image.

For example, some commands can be performed only on images with a bit depth of at least 8 bits per pixel. When you choose a command for an image with a bit depth lower than 8 bits per pixel, the Auto Actions dialog box appears with the message that the image must be converted to a higher bit depth in order to proceed with the command.

You can set all actions in the list to a certain option by clicking Always All, Prompt All, or Never All.
