AppleScript - Set ppi to 300
This droplet will use OS X's internal image processing system to change the ppi value of a file without making other changes.
Copy and paste the following into Script Editor and save as an application:
on open (list_of_aliases)
repeat with i from 1 to number of items in list_of_aliases
set tImg to item i of list_of_aliases
set tPath to quoted form of POSIX path of tImg
do shell script ("sips -s dpiHeight 300 -s dpiWidth 300 " & tPath as string)
end repeat
end open
Drop a bunch of image files on it and they will be changed to 300ppi.
For the lazy people amongst you, there's a zipped version of the finished app attached below.

Thanks, this could be handy.
I looked into this last time Aperture wasn't embedding the ppi correctly (version 1.2?) but it hadn't occurred to me that you had to set the ppi in two dimensions...
It's pretty easy to adapt, just change the two '300's.
