Image-ExifTool - PhotoShop Resolution

PhotoShop Resolution
Hello

Is it possible to make the PhotoShop resolution block (ResolutionInfo / 3ED) writable so that
I can explictly set the value of the PhotoShop Resolution to a specific value ?

Currently this is set as READ ONLY...

I can extract it using the command line tool as follows

... exiftool -g -Photoshop:XResolution file.jpg

but I cannot do

... exiftool -g -Photoshop:XResolution=150 file.jpg

When I specify

... exiftool -XResolution=150 file.jpg

This appears to set the Resolution in the EXIF block but PhotoShop ignores that if a
PhotoShop Resolution (3ed) is defined...

I'm trying to ensure consistency between the resolutions stored in an image.
Some of our apps use the PhotoShop resolution, some do not, this is not a problem as long
as all the resolutions are set the same. If I set the Resolution in the EXIF block (as above) and
somebody then opens the file in PhotoShop the resolution maybe different.


I've tried tweaking the PhotoShop.pm file by adding the Writable flag but no luck so far...
It says the 'Tag: 'Photoshop:XResolution' does not exist


Any suggestions ....??

(Thanks in advance)
