I recently read the thread relating to writing an action for sharpening and resizing for BPN. The action was entitled BPN j-pegs F2. I wrote the action but I guess I must have made a small error somewhere because my images always ended up at 800 x 800 pixel as opposed to 800 being a maximum size, I wonder for example how I could automate so that one dimension may be 1024 and the other 800 - I guess this would have to be two separate actions?
Another little issue I don't understand and that is the resolution, the action states 96 pixels per inch, I wonder why 96 as opposed to 72 pixels per inch?
I also don't really understand why sometimes different people use Smart Sharpen as oppose to Unsharp Mask, I have used both and can get reasonable reults with either, i was wondering are the any particular circumstances when one mode is likely to be preferable to the other?
