 |

Hi,
I am using Photoshop CS3 Extended
I am familiar with batch jobs in Photoshop.
I have images that vary in pixel size and resolution.
This project is for an online gift registry. First, we are hosting the images, but they have restraints due their web/system programming. So what I was told by the company was they need the images to be 300 x 300 pixel images at 72dpi. They said they would settle for 300 width only and let me scale the proportions and not worry about the height as I want to batch the process. But they stressed 300 width and 72dpi.
What I have tried is batch resizing all of them to 300 pixel width, worked fine. Then I batched changing the resolution to 72. But it changed all the pixel dimensions to various sizes. So then I tried to batch 300 pixel width and 72 resolution at one time at it ends up the same way. So what do I need to do to get 300 x 300 pixel and 72dpi?
1)I have read plenty of PPI vs DPI. Is "resolution" in Photoshop, PPI?
2)Was what they probably meant by 72dpi actually 72ppi?
3)How do I accomplish this? |

As I have learned recently, ppi is used for images on a PC/web. DPI is for print. Both terms are mistaken as being the same thing. Your client should meant the resolution as 72 ppi.
As for your issue in photoshop, I use CS4. When I went in and did a few tests, I had to set the resolution to 72. Then uncheck "Constrain Proportions" and set the width and height to 300. If I set the width and height first, when I set the resolution, it changed the width and height on it's own.
Hope it helps,
Dave |

Thanks for your help. I came to that conclusion after messing around with it a bit. In my case though, I need to retain the height proportion and just adjust the width. But your right in that you have to set the PPI first, then the proportions.
Thanks,
Chris |
