CS3 Action to Convert Profile and DPI

[RHoldenSr]

Can someone tell me how to include "Convert Profile (SRGB)" and change image to 250 DPI in a Photoshop CS3 action?

I try to record these two options and they will not record in the action?

I have folder full of images I need to convert to SRGB and 250 dpi.

Robin - I would think that you could just Save as and it would ask you. Guessing, I just got my CS3 Extended and I never had the issue yet.

Hey Robin, I went to school with a Robin Holden in MS, is it you?

I have a folder with about 400 images and I did not want to load and save every one of them. I am going to batch process them as much as I can. Photoshop CS3 wont record these options in the action for some reason?

Nope I went to school in New York and here in Texas (College and tech school)

It shouldn't be a problem to record these steps in an action, I've done similar steps in numerous action. Just start recording, and then go

Edit -> Convert to Profile and choose sRGB for the first step, and
Image -> Size and set the DPI with "resample image" unchecked.

I have and it does not work for some reason?

I can load Photosshop CS2 and it records the options just fine?

Something is strange?
I recorded the action in Photoshop CS2 and loaded it in CS3 and it works fine!

For some reason it will not record in CS3?

[jeffkohn]

Hmm, not sure what could be going on. I recorded the action as described above in CS3 without problem.

[RHoldenSr]

Okay I have no idea what I did but now it works!

I think this is what happened:

When I tried to record the action with Convert Profile to SRGB and 250 DPI change, the profile and DPI were already set to SRGB and 250 DPI so it did not record. If I changed the options to RGB and 72 DPI and then made the change they recorded fine.

Only explanation I can come up with

Interesting. Makes sense I guess, in a certain way. If the commands had no effect, then there was nothing to record.
