While opening files and looking within a foler’s listed images, i used to see image sizes shown in pixels (170X208 for instance) when my mouse would hover over a file selection, but i must have changed some setting, cuz now it shows me file size (28.3k) — does anyone know how to change this back??

Waxi,

What you’re describing is a function of the Windows O/S and, from what I can tell on my own WinXP PC, it is also a fuction of the file type. For example, both the TIFF and JPEG formats provide both the file size and dimensions when holding the cursor over the file name. However, only the file size is given for the PSD format. Try that out for yourself and see if you have the same results. I’m not sure how one might go about changing that, if it is even possible.

Regards,

Daryl
