Author How do I crop to a specicic XY pixel size ?

I want to crop to a specific pixel height and width. When I pick
something with the crop tool I expect that *somewhere* it should tell
me what the dimensions will be when I crop, but I can't find it.

Is there a way?


Thanks

Just use the rectangular selection tool. Set the selection to a fixed
pixel size (in the toolbar), then use Image->Crop.

(I think, I'm not at a PS equipped machine right now!)

You can do it with the Crop tool ... or try the Rectangular Marquee
tool and in the 'style' box choose 'fixed size' instead of 'normal' to
make a selection (make sure the feather is set to 0), enter the
dimensions in the width and height boxes and then do Image - Crop.

When you select the crop tool, a toolbar opens at the top which allows
you to enter values for width, height and resolution. You can enter
values in inches, mm, px, etc. You can save your frequently used values
as a new tool as well.

In addition to the other responses, the Info Pallette will show you
the pixel dimensions of the area you are selecting with the crop tool
as you define the area.
