PHOTOSHOP - How can I force a pixel number on the rectangle selector

[4_Legs_Good]

tool? I want to cut boxes all exactly the same size, but I don't know how to enter the size, and I need the aspect ratio to be specific.

Any ideas?

I'm using 7.0

1. just make sure your "info" tag is visible

when you drag the rectangle out you get BOTH x & y values as well as Width & Height values. they change as you drag

2. Should be able to select "Fixed Size" from the Style dropdown

where you select "Normal" or "Fixed Aspect Ratio"

Just tell it how many pixels you want, and to town

4. Perfect, now how do I change it from inches to pixels?

Gah, I'm so far behind on the learning curve here. I spend too much time figuring out work arounds instead of learning how the program actually works!

3. Yell and scream at your computer until it does what you want it to

6. Actually, the approved method is...

...to attach electrodes to it's vital parts, while forcing it to stand for long periods of times with it's optical sensor's covered in a hood.

If that doesn't work, you can piss on the Instruction Manual.

7. But it's critical to take the hood off before you piss on the manual

to make sure it can watch the manual get pissed on
