I have a client that wants a lot of images converted from RAW to JPEG. I am used PS image processor to do it. Works pretty slick. I was able to resize to the pixel dim they wanted. However it saves them at 240 and not 300. They want 300 dpi. Does anyone know how to change that?
thanks in advance.

ACR,
on the bottom in the middle, you have your default settings in form of a blue link.
just click on it and change in the pop-up window to 300.
Et voilà!

PPI, not DPI.
The PPI value embedded in image files doesn't make any sense.

The value for PPI that is configured in the ACR settings is only used to calculate the originators intended jpg image size in inches.

Sorry for the typo.... I am sure you have never had that happen..... thanks for the constructive correction

Wrong.
No any image has a "size in inches".
Suppose you have a 3000x2000 image in a file.
In the same file you have a PPI value of 100.
3000/100=30 inches
2000/100=20 inches
Can you say you have a 30"x20" image? No, you can't.
Suppose I change the PPI value embedded in the file to 200.
3000/200=15 inches
2000/200=10 inches
Can you say you have a 15"x10" image? No, you can't.
Every image has no any physical size until it is rendered.
The image is 3000x2000 pixels.

Yes, we all understand that. However, the client does not -- the client requires that the images be delivered with an embedded "resolution" of 300 pixels per inch. It doesn't matter that this figure is meaningless -- only that the client requires it.
To the original poster, sorry but I don't know how to do this with PS Image Processor. In Camera Raw it can be changed in the output prefs box, but I don't know if that will fix your problem.
I do this all the time in Photo Mechanic, using the Save Photos As menu option, and set all the parameters in that dialog box. Works pretty well.

that is exactly right k bennett... the client wants it this way....they are the ones paying so I process and give the images anyway they want them. I did figure out with playing around and with what fred mentioned.
With the image processor in PS it allows you to open one image and make corrections you want.... it is like an action. I changed the ppi in raw to 300 and changed the pixel height and width... which it will let you do... it processed all the images and saved them as jpegs at 300ppi and height I needed...
thank you all for your input. That is most everyone....

I think clients have to be educated.
But I think that generally educators don't know.
The misinformation is spreading.

Some people prefer to serve their clients
But I think that generally educators don't know.
It might be better not to pass judgement on people you don't know
The misinformation is spreading.
I wish you much luck reacting to all incorrect items posted on internet fora, and sincerely hope you have some time left to take pictures and enjoy life.
