HI

I have a few actions set, converting to cmyk : saving as tiff etc, and can also use the image processor script - this is all fine.

What I am struggling with is this :

I need to convert images that may be 72dpi / 96dpi / 240dpi etc etc - I need to change them to 300dpi BUT if the I want the image to size up and down in correlation with this. SO do not zoom if image is smaller (this is an option in image converter plus software).

IE, if an image is 96dpi and is 120cm wide I want to make it 300dpi but resize down to an appropriate size, perhaps 40cm wide - but this original size varies from picture to picture so I cant set it in an action - instead I can only make PS change to 300dpi at 120cm etc - you can see why this would be a problem.

I hope this makes sense - if anyone can point me in the right direction I would be appreciative

Thanks

Lesley

In the image size dialog uncheck the resample image option.

Then set the dpi to 300.

This causes only the physical dimensions to change (smaller) and the pixel count will remain the same.
