Hi
I am trying to create an action with PS7.0 which will take an image from a digital camera and crop it and then place it in a frame. The problem is that ‘Crop’ takes the selected area which unfortunately dose not coincide with the subject in other photographs.
I studied an action called "24 hour processing" from a book "50 Fast PhotoShop 7 Techniques". It has a crop command which places a marquee on the image letting you move it around before pressing ok and the action continues. My action looks the same but dose not give me the option of aligning the crop.
Any ideas

Insert "transform selection" after "set selection" and enable the modal control for this command

Thanks for that. Your explanation "insert Transform selection" was a little confusing but by clicking the model box next to the crop action, it now dose exactly what I wanted.
The only problem I have now is that I get a message " The command Transform is not currently available" when playing the action. I tried loading the commands action but still no joy.
What am I doing wrong.
