Re: [Avid-L2] Batch to 72 dpi

I needed XNViewMP on Mac, but it worked like a charm. The batch interface took a few minutes to figure out, but it does precisely what I want. In particular, it will change the dpi without changing anything else, including the file format. Perfect.

Cheers,

Tod -

If you're not familiar with Photoshop Actions I made a quick walkthrough/tutorial. I'm using Photoshop CC2014, but it should be pretty much the same in previous versions.

Set up an action in Photoshop.

The shortcuts to record are CMD+SHIFT+i, set the DPI to 72, deselect "Resample", hit OK, and save.

You should be able to batch all of your images using that one action.

Now that I've discovered that Avid Pan and Zoom wants all images to be 72dpi, I'm looking for a batch conversion method.

I've found lots of ways to batch resize, but none of these allow me to change dpi only. In theory I can do this with Automater recording, but I've found such scripts to be clumsy and unreliable without putting in great effort.

Any suggestions? Has anyone written a reliable Automator routine to do this?

I figure this is the place to ask because I can't think of any other possible reason to want to change dpi only. ;(
