Resize in scripts fails to set resolution

[Elchinator]

I have made a few tests with recording scripts and I noticed an error with resizing in PSP 2022. When I manually set the resolution (like 300 DPI), this is correctly recorded in the script. But when I run the script, it sets the resolution to 100 DPI every time. When I do there same action manually, it works though. Is this a known error? Is there a fix?

Care to share the script or at least the portion that does the resize? I just recorded a script that resizes the resolution without issue. Seeing the settings might help determine what's going on.

How I recorded my script is as follows: 1) hit record, 2) Open Resize 3) Go to the "By Print Size" option and set my resolution and then go to "By percent" and set the percentage to 100. So it's not actually resizing the image, it's just changing the resolution.

Basically that's what I did, too. I only want the reolution to be 300 DPI, so when I insert text in the next step, it has always the same size. I am pretty sure it worked with PSP2020 as I never had this issue before 2022. Also, as the settings are saved in the "resize" window, I can see that it resets the resolution to 100 DPI.

This is part of the script:

Code: Select all

    App.Do( Environment, 'Resize', {
            'AspectRatio': 1, 
            'CurrentDimensionUnits': App.Constants.UnitsOfMeasure.Pixels, 
            'CurrentResolutionUnits': App.Constants.ResolutionUnits.PixelsPerIn, 
            'Height': 1920, 
            'MaintainAspectRatio': True, 
            'Resample': True, 
            'ResampleType': 1, 
            'ResizeAllLayers': True, 
            'Resolution': 300, 
            'Width': 1920, 
            'SharpnessValue': 50, 
            'AdvancedMode': True, 
            'ResizeType': 2, 
            'OneSide_Type': 1, 
            'OneSide_LongWidth': 1920, 
            'OneSide_ShortHeight': 1920, 
            'OneSide_Unit': App.Constants.UnitsOfMeasure.Pixels, 
            'OneSide_Active': 0, 
            'Noise_Level': 0, 
            'Noise_Slider': 0, 
            'MODEL': 0, 
            'Enable_GPU': False, 
            'GeneralSettings': {
                'ExecutionMode': App.Constants.ExecutionMode.Default, 
                'AutoActionMode': App.Constants.AutoActionMode.Match, 
                'Version': ((24,0,0),1)
                }
            })

Just for accuracy, PSP does not have an option to change DPI (Dots Per Inch) because that is a function of the printer only and its associated software/driver. Graphic programs can only adjust the PPI (Pixels Per Inch) of an image. Attached is an image of the Resize dialogue in PSP - not Dots Per Inch, only Pixels Per Inch.

Your Resize Type is set to 2 meaning you accepted a print size. Annoyingly, order of operations is very important in this case, you need to set the Resolution first, then go to the percentage option (Resize Type 1) and set the width and height to 100. It'll accept the new resolution and setting it to 100% means it won't do any edit. But you have to be on "By Percentage" when you hit OK.

To edit the code so you don't have to re-record the steps just change the following parameters

Code: Select all

'Width': 100
'Height': 100
'ResizeType': 1

If I am correct that will be the equivalent of resizing to 100% with a new resolution of 300.

Thanks, that helped! The resolution is now correct.
