This script will add 300ppi resolution metadata to selected JPEG files (JPG or JPEG extensions). This may be desired when making use of Photoshop's Export features which are designed to strip irrelevant metadata that is not required for web/device viewing. Some users still wish to have the resolution metadata included, but do not wish to use Save As/Save As a Copy which includes all metadata.
This is a continuation of the topic in the Photoshop forum where I created a couple of similar scripts for Photoshop:
