FYI... ...in lieu of a program change...
Most times we can ignore dpi tags and print the photos at any size, but sometimes publishers/editors/contests insist on a 300dpi tag to be embedded in a photo
SNS-HDR has in its Program Folder an "ExifTool.exe" Windows executable that can be used to manually update an image's or images' meta data if desired using a desktop program shortcut whose target properties have appropriate ExifTool Options.
For example, using Win10 and the requested 300 dpi:
1) In File Explorer, navigate/open to/the SNS-HDR program folder, right click on "ExifTool.exe" file and left click on "Create shortcut". This shortcut will default to the DeskTop.
2) Right click on the new shortcut and left click Properties
3) In the Properties Target box, left click after the right " mark, leave a space, and type -XResolution=300 -YResolution=300 -ResolutionUnit="inches" -overwrite_original -progress -k
Note: leave a single space in front of each - mark of the Option tag.
4) Left click Apply
5) Open a folder containing the image or images to be changed. Select an image file name or file names, then drag and drop them onto the new desktop shortcut. A progress/report window should open/progress after a few seconds indicating which files have been updated. The selected image or images should be updated to the desired 300 dpi meta data resolution without changing image pixel data and remain in the original folder.
6) To verify changes and see an image's complete meta data, change the Options in the Properties Target box to: -s -G -k
7) Left click Apply
8) drag and drop an image file name on the shortcut for a desktop window display report of the image's complete meta data

Hint: you could create two desktop shortcuts, each with the Options indicated so that you would not have to change the Options in the Properties Target box.
Caution: If you are not familiar with Command Line programming, experiment with a non-essential image file copy before proceeding with full image libraries as the " -overwrite_original" Option prevents accumulating/storing pesky back up " *.*_original" image file copies.
Have fun...
