With the Move Tool selected, look at the Options Bar.
If the "Show Bounding Box" option is selected you can grab the Bounding Box anchors/handles which now surround the objects on a selected layer and resize/transform them. When you do this the Options Bar will automatically switch over to show the options you would have if you had simply called up Transform (CTRL + T).
If you inspect the Options Bar, you’ll see that you can enter specific values for height, width, x and y positions, rotation etc. You can Right-Click on the numerical entry fields and change the unit of measurement — pixels, inches, centimeters, percent, etc.
Is there something you need to do that can’t be addressed by those capabilities?
Atif,
No the Info palette is just that – it gives current information
However, following a ctrl+T you can set width, height, rotation etc from the control bar.
thanks for the answers…
but what if in future versions of photoshop the INFO Panel is similar to Macromedia Flash’s INFO Panel…actually thats really comfort to work with
Different paradigm.
Flash uses objects, Photoshop pixels
Is it possible to change the x & y default from pixels to inches? I’m not averse to editing the registry or driver files.

Thanks —
Right-Click on either of the Rulers (expose them by using CTRL+R) and you’ll see a menu of Units of Measurement.
You can also change units by clicking on the "+" icon next to the x,y field in the Info Palette.
