Yet another DPX question
I have scans that are off by 2 pixels. One batch was scanned at 1868×780 and another batch was scanned at 1868×782. In addition, I have some scans that are 1840×1354. What is the best course of action for getting all these scans uniform? Would batching them in photoshop be advisable? For the 1840×1356 scans, I have to crop out the 2 perf “Scope” frame.

Photoshop resizing is better than FCP’s for sure, but no resizing would be best of course… i.e, rescan them to be the same…

That sounds most logical. I called the house and they might rescan them for me. However, I have stacks that are full aperture 4 perf that I have to extract 2.35 from, so I need a solution regardless. I am thinking this is where a photoshop batch would work well.

That’s the ticket probably. Though with the high quality set in FCP, one wonders just how much better the end product might be. I’ve used PS for this for so long with stills, it’s seems a good solution.

I guess I am a little lost then. It seems I can’t save DPX files out of photoshop. What to do next?

Save as Cineons and batch rename if you really need .dpx extension.
