I used to love Image Processor Pro, which made this a snap. Now it seems that the only option is to create an action for each size desired. Why doesn't Image Processor allow you to change the reolution? It's just plain stupid not to have this feature. Am i missing something, or is this a glaring oversight?

RAW images do not have a dpi assigned. That is done by the RAW processor.

Hello. Yes, I make 300 dpi images files for my work. And some of them also 72dpi for the web.

Hi Risky,

I cannot see any way of doing what you want to do without running Image Processor twice: once for 300 and once for 72. Why would running IP twice with two different Action runs for each run be any different?

Well first off, Image Processor Pro is not technically an Adobe Product so it's not really fair to blame Adobe for any changes or lack of features. But you can do this in Image Processor.

Just set up an Action to set the resolution to whatever you want.

Assuming that the original dimensions are what you want (e.g., the inches by inches). Just set an action to change the resolution to whatever you want then OK that. Then stop the recording, and save it ("300 dpi" for example). and when you run IP, just add the Action at the end.

Hope that works for you

Thanks for the answer but this still involves creating actions for every size you want. Adobe should know that this is an obvious feature that anyone would need who's posting pictures on the web. Just sayin.
