Stops are something you will encounter very frequently when using our actions. Basically, what a stop is, is a pause in the action, where Photoshop will ask you to input information necessary to complete the effect. This is very common when actions involve steps that are dependent on the size or orientation of the file. Simply follow the instructions and click "Continue" and the action will carry on doing its thing.

You may also customize our actions using "Stops". Say, for example, you find that the grain is just too intense on one of the black and white actions. You can change the amount of grain that appears by inserting a "Stop" next to the step that tells Photoshop how much grain to add to your photo. This is especially convenient when you will be using the actions for web-sized files, as our actions are only compatible with high-resolution files from pro SLRs.

The absolute most important thing about these actions is that you do not, in any way, change the stops that are already inserted into the action! This cannot be stressed enough. To do this will cause the action to malfunction. The red boxes next to every action set should never be clicked. This happens frequently by accident. If you accidentally click a red box, simply reload your actions from their original location on your desktop, according to the previous instructions and resave them.
