How can i see rectangular marquee selected area size without cropping it ? It is very easy in paint.net but i have to do in photoshop cs 5. While selecting an area i should be able to see the dimensions of selected area. How can i do that ?

Also when i select an area with rectangular marquee i want to see the position of that area or at least i need to be able to see a pixel position. Position means its position in the image like top 55px left 45px thank you.

Adobe Photoshop CS 5

The cursor position and selection size are shown in the Info window (F8, in the upper right in my workspace).

    Yes, but still simple would be. **Ctrl+R** (Brings your rulers) and then **Right Click over the ruler** and Select whatever you prefer – divy3993 Aug 20 '16 at 06:16
