But I am having trouble at displaying pictures at any other resolution than 72.0 dpi in FileMaker (they show up fine on the web) and it looks like it is resolution-related. Your suggestion : It is possible to change the script to support resampling. This would involve running an initial sips command to interrogate the image dpi, width and height and gathering the results into variables. You would then calculate the new width and height based on target dpi, then run the sips command to process the image. looks quite interesting & promising, but I can't "grep" it. Care to elaborate ? I have the interrogation part covered, my problem is in the resampling (there's no resampleResolution in man sips and setProperty dpiWidth/Height doesn't seem to affect it) I’d be really pleased for someone to have a go at this, it’s on my ‘todo’ list but quite far down… I'd be quite happy to oblige...

Please mail me if you are getting some kind of error. Hi kais – it works fine for me in Snow Leopard. Please mail me if you are getting some kind of error.

I think however, that would be slightly beyond my clumsy script-hacking abilities... Thanks for letting me know. P Aha – interesting.

Changing the dpi in the sips command will not resample the image. It just changes the dpi information and the number of pixels in the image remains the same. It is possible to change the script to support resampling. This would involve running an initial sips command to interrogate the image dpi, width and height and gathering the results into variables.

However I'm wondering if you can help... I too would like to be able to change the resolution of the output image. I managed to put the sips dpiHeight/Width command into the script, but this only seems to change the pixel aspect ratio, not the actual image resolution. Any idea how I can get a 72dpi image out from this, or am I being stupid? Many thanks indeed for any help. Patrick Hi Simon
