Processing (Saving as PSD) dpi issue
If I process a file and select to save as PSD @ 300dpi when opened in photoshop it's set at 72dpi.
Thanks, Dan

Dan,
Have you checked the Pixel Dimensions in Capture One vs that of Photoshop?
In my experience the dimensions are identical and thus the files are identical (what Capture One says it will process and what is opened in Photoshop) however Photoshop opens the files at 72dpi, scaling the document size.
So again, the file is exactly the same but the pixel density is opened differently by Photoshop.0 -

Same thing is happening to me. I am now pissed off because I processed about 200 images and they are all 72dpi.
Drew, what does that mean in this case? When I send the images out to printer will they look good or not?? That's all I want to know.0 -

Yes, the pixel dimension in the Image Size (Photoshop, Option+Cmd+I) is what counts and that is OK for your printing. If you want to be absolutely right, you could change the Resolution value in Photoshop to 300 dpi without resampling (uncheck Resample Image in the same dialog). This will not alter any pixel, only the resolution indicator.
Yes, it should read 300 dpi when you defined that in your CO7 process recipe, but it is no big deal.
And the other issue here is that some do not understand the resolution value. 😉 (it is just an indicator of size, not amount of pixels, or image quality)0 -
OK, Maybe this is not a big deal, but is annoying, nevertheless.
All this kind o f workarounds, like "you could change the Resolution value in Photoshop to 300 dpi" are time consuming.
What if you have to do it for a couple of hundreds images at a time?
Ah, I know: "You can easily create an action in Photoshop!!!".

I agree that Maggie's question was sounding a bit too basic, but still this is a problem with Phase software, not with @Maggie12.
A bug is a bug and needs a fixing asap.0 -

A little unnecessary don't you think? There is no such thing as a dumb question. It is a valid question. If you don't fully understand resolution/pixel density you should ask someone to clarify. It's a murky subject to some and I know a lot of 'pros' that don't fully understand it.
If someone has a question about C1 they should be able to post here and ask without fear of ridicule. 😐[quote="tantareanu" wrote:

Absolutely and totally agree.0 -
Sorry, I didn't want to upset anyone.
I've edited those words in my initial post.0 -
I think we are all on the same page. I reported the issue (it occurs both in the Windows and Mac version) to Phase One. In the mean time we are helping each other here as users, sometimes with a bit of education.
Any workaround is cumbersome, but if it helps and is worth the effort, you go for it.0 -
Issue still occurring in 7.0.2
