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.
