Change Resolution

[LeviFiction]

Script Name: Change Resolution
Download Link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8FlF ... k5IV2N4STg
Compatability: 9 to X9 supposedly
Requirements: Place in Scripts-Restricted Folder
Description:
This script will grab the default resolution settings from the General Preferences, and change the current image to match.

There are two scripts: Change Resolution and ChangResolutionAndResample

Change Resolution - This will change the image's PPI resolution to match the settings in the General Preferences without changing the pixel count of the image. This will change the print size even though the image does not get any bigger or smaller.

ChangeResolutionAndResample - This will change the image's PPI resolution to match the settings in the General Preferences without changing the print size. This will resize the image changing the number of pixels in the image to fit within the printsize indicated at the current resolution.

To change the resolution go into your General Preferences (File -> Preferences -> General Preferences)
Select "Units" from the left options
On the right set the "Default Resolution" to the resolution you wish to use and what units to use Inches/CM

UPDATE: I've added a third script to this bundle called "ChangeResolutionUnits" what this script does is simply change the resolution units of your image, for example from CM to IN, converting the resolution value to the appropriate equivalent. This is different from ChangeResolution in that the ChangeResolution script would change both the units and the resolution value to a staticly set value. This actually converts CM into IN and back again.

This script, like the other two, use your Units defined in the General Preferences dialog. So no need to edit the script to decide what units to use.

I just ran this as a batch process in X9 on 199 photos and it worked perfectly. It was quick too. Thanks Levi.

I'm using the script, which works well. As I mentioned in the original thread, I have modified it so that the Image Information dialogue opens immediately after the silent running of the script and have bound it to an icon placed on my menu bar to use in place of the Image>Image Information item. That works well for the most part, and when I click OK on the Image Info dialogue it closes as it should.

However, I have never cared whether I use the OK button or the CANCEL button on the Image Info dialogue to close it. But with my modification which opens the Image Info dialogue, if I click Cancel instead of OK then I get the PSP message asking whether I want to continue with the script. Is there something I can add to the script that will make the Cancel button act the same way the OK button does (i.e., just closes the Image Info dialogue), or at least instantly closes that message window, or simply prevents it from having to appear at all?

I know of no such option. That appears to simply be PSP responding to the cancel button without any input from the script. Auto-actions, warnings, or anything else I can find in General Preferences makes no reference to this. And it's not in the scripting for script author's guide.

I was afraid of that - but one can always hope . I'll just have to make a habit of using the OK button to close the Image Info dialogue. It's not an issue if I only look at the resolutions info because that opens by default and my mouse pointer automatically defaults to the OK button. It's only when I check out the other tabs in that dialogue that I have to mouse back to OK/Cancel to close it. Not really a problem of real significance.
