Question

Export Panel Convert to TIFF forces resolution to 300x300

I'm trying to batch export using an edit preset in the Export panel. It works great, and I'd love to start using it, but... It forces all the images to 300dpi when I just want it to stay at 72. Any way to fix this?

Hi Bacharach,

 

Before I try to help you on this, is there any reason why you want the low resolution in your images?

 

And just in case I need it, what is your OS (and what release) and what version of Bridge and PS are you using (and what release)?

 

Thanks

Hi Gary, 

I guess that info would be helpful, huh? Sorry about that. 
Im using the images in video, we deal with a lot of still images in our videos, so this would be a huge help. More so than the batch automation in PS. I'm on the newest version of Bridge (10.1) and on OS Mojave 10.14.6

Hi Bacharach,

 

OK, I have two answers for you. One is for you to download Image Processor Pro. This will do what you want: give you the ppi resolution of your choice. The link is here:

 

https://photoshopscaresme.com/new-version-russell-browns-image-processor-pro/

 

I just tested it. I'm on Catalina and I'm using the absolutely brand new relased versions of Bridge and Photoshop. It worked fine.

 

But now to part 2: I do not do video but I do a lot of still images and also images for web. So what I'm about to say I have to qualify that I might be wrong but I do not think I am. If I am wrong, I'm sure someone will tell me and we'll all be smarter.

 

When one prepares an image for the web, the resolution is completely irrelevant. That is, you can have an image that is 500 pixels wide and have a resolution 72 ppi and place that next to an image that is 500 pixels wide and have a resolution 500 ppi and place them on the same web page and they will be the same size. If you were to print them, wooo-boy would there be a difference. 

 

Simply, resolution is necessary for printing. For placing images on a screen, it's the pixels that count. For video, I'm going to guess that it's also the pixels that count. 

 

If you could do me a favor and grab an image, run it through the image processor (not the pro version I like above) and get what you get. Then put that in one of your videos and let me know what happens. If it looks fine, you are good to go. If it looks the wrong size, I have given you the link above to let you set your resolution.

 

Please let me know.
