I reently needed to crop an image to an exact square. Is there a way of counting the pixels as you crop so that you can be sure that you are x pixels wide by y pixels high?

If you only need to be sure it’s a square, hold down the shift key while you make the selection. If you need it to be exactly xxx pixels, fill this number in in the crop tool settings.
