Measuring Pixels
I've done a lot of web design with photoshop. Often times it's best to make a large picture and then cut it up into smaller pieces to fit the spreadsheet layout of an html page, but I've always found it very time consuming. I basically have to make rectangle marquees until I get the correct dimensions, usually making a conservative estimate, then zooming in to slowly count the pixels needed. Is there a way to type in a pixel number to automatically select to that point?

Measuring A Selection
Is there an easy way to measure a rectangular selection? I can CTL+Click the layer I want to select to get the selection, but is there an easy way to incorporate the ruler to measure the selection?

Square Pixels Or Rectangular Pixels For Video
If I am constantly making frames in photoshop for use in the video world (ie. They will be on TV) the pixels need to be rectangular (or 4x3) in aspect and not square. I know in programs like After Effects and Combustion you can set when saving an image whether or not it is square or rectangular pixels. How do I do this in Photoshop if it can be done?

How To Mix Up Pixels Of An Image
I'm not sure if this is really a photoshop question or not, but I thought this might be a good place to start my search. I'm looking for a way to scramble the pixels of an image randomly and by varying amounts. Is there a filter that can do that?

Is There A Way To Know How Many Pixels You Have Selected?
I'm doing science fair right now and i need to figure out how many pixels are in a certain selection (a laso). Is there a way other than knowing the width and height, a way to know exacly how many pixels are in a selection? or even how many pixels of a certain color are in a selection? if there isnt, does anyone know a program that can do this?

Blocky Pixels
I work for a small magazine and were running a feature on old school games, my question is this. The foreground is going to have a screen shot of lets say Super Mario Brothers. How can I enlarge the foreground image so that the pixels stay blocky and nothing gets smoothed out. The only work around I have for the mean time is using transform and screen capturing the transform before it smooths out the pixels again.

Low Down The Number Of Pixels
I'm trying to draw using my wacom tablet, altough theres too much pixels in my file and the line dosen't goes strait and I have less control. When I'm drawing in a very zoomed-in file like 5000% insted of 100%, the line comes out much better. My Problem is After I've done drawing in my zoomed-in file, when I'm trying to enlarge what I've just draw from about 5000% to 100% everything looke blur and not well. My question is how can I use a small amount of pixels, yet have a large canvas or is there any way I can enlarge my drawing without having it look bad?

No Pixels Are More Than 50% Selected
I'm having problems with the magic wand tool. I try selecting an area which works fine but when I try to subtract an area from it I get this message: "Warning: No pixels are more than 50% selected. The selection edges will not be visible." I googled this and came up with a few solutions but none worked. The most common solution was to reduce feathering to zero. When I tried to do that I got the message: "A number between 0.2 and 250.0 is required. Closest value inserted." Any idea what I'm doing wrong and how to get rid of these annoying error messages?

Cloning And Pixels
Pixel/Cloning question: I have 2 images- one imports as 16.7%, 4000/3000 pixel dimension, 180 res, the other at 33.3%, 2400/1800 pixels and 72 res. When choosing the pixel size for the cloning brush, how does the number of pixels I choose relate to the image size that photoshop has imported your image as? If I decide to work on an image at a different %- zooming in or out, how does that affect the pixel size that I have chosen? Since the actual dimension of the pixel is variable, what criteria is photoshop using to determine the actual size of the pixel, and how does that change at different percents of zoom?

No Pixels Selected?
I am trying to work throught the photo restoration book. I am putting together a photo that has been torn into pieces. I have to select each piece using the lasso tool, use the option key with magic wand to select it in more detail, then make a new layer to store each piece in. The first torn piece worked out fine, when I tried to select the second piece, I used the lasso successfully, then tried to hold down the option and click the magic want, it said that there were no pixels selected. I have run into this problem before.... I started over and over reselecting this piece and every time, it said that there were no pixels selected.

Possible To Only Resize Transparent Pixels?
I'm interested in doing a non-destructive "resize" of an image, whereby only the transparent pixels are traditionally resized and the non-transparent pixels remain the same size (but move relative to the resized transparent pixels). As an example, imagine an image that consists of stars on a transparent background. If we were to do the above to this image, the physical space taken up by the image would increase (due to the resizing of the transparent pixels), but the stars themselves would remain the same size. In short, the stars would appear to spread out to fill more space. If it helps, here's an illustrated example: ....

Pixels On Edge Of Canvas
It occurs on all canvas size, small to large. Alot of the pixels across the bottom and up and down the right side basicaly arn't working. For example I take the pencil too and attempt to fill a singel pixel on the bottom of teh canvas. The history records the use of the pencil tool but nothing appears on the canvas. The same is for the marquee tool. If I go a few pixels above the bottom row and select by draging down it will go to the bottom. But if I try to only select the bottom row the marquee outline does not appear and I am told no pixels were selected. However when I use the fill too those same pixels along the bottom and up the right side are filled. After becoming extreamly agrivated and going nuts with the pencil tool I noticed that if I hold it down and and slide it toward one of the pixels I can eventualy get it, but only after penciling the surring 60 or so pixels. I have restared photo shop 4 times with no luck. I'm not drawing on the background layer and the color i'm using is not the same as a color below it.

Resizing And Transforming Pixels
I am taking photos off the web into photoshop, transforming them and reloading them back on the web. Whats the best way to ensure the utmost quality on my images? Being that they all come in diffrent resolutions per inch and I am forcing them into a document that is 1700 x 1314 at 200 dpi. I've noticed that even if my image starts off clear once I bring it in and transform it (usually making it smaller) it looses its sharpness. Is there anyway to prevent this?

Reducing Pixels, But Not Size.
I have been told that you can reduce the number of pixels in a picture, but keep the size of it.I am unsure about this, so I thought I would ask the experts as it were.I do know the JPEG image compression when saving, but is there any way you can specify the number of pixels?

One example is the Forest Imp monster: PROBLEM is.. there's an invisible (because it's white) border of pixels around this monster. If you want to see it, go ahead and open the above png in Photoshop and use the Paint Bucket Tool to fill in the background, but make sure Anti-Aliased is OFF.

Redrawing Pixels And Lagging
For some reason, recently, when i paint in pshop CS2, every 10 or 12 strokes, my computer lags and I have to sit here and wait for it to catch up, and draw the last couple of strokes I made. It is REALLY irritating when painting for he obvious reason that it delays creativity. I have a dual 2 ghz G5 with 7 gb of RAM AND 550 GB of space, so it CAN'T be my comp. Any Ideas why it's laging so badly. Also, in the last couple of weeks, for some reason, pshop is redrawing my pixels on the screen, making it very difficult to paint. Basically, when I paint, or drag the screen around, it keep residual pixels from my last angle, and they don't move until I drag my brush through them, making it impossible to paint accurately. I have to zoom out and then back in to clear it.

Pulling The Pixels Of An Image
I'm not really sure what this is called. But i've seen pictures where the edge of the image is stretched. It's stretched so that only the pixel on the edge of the image is duplicated and it sort of forms streaks of different colors.

Select Pixels By RGB Values?
I have a portrait shot on a grey cloth background and I need to remove the grey background. Replace color is useless, as is the magic wand. However the BG is comprised of pixels that are all VERY close to neutral ie Red -231 Green - 232 Blue - 231 etc I am trying to find a way to select only those pixels that are within 1 or 2 from the other components, ie it would select for the above selection: Red - 230-232 Green - 231-233 Blue - 230-232

Maximize, Actual Pixels
Is there any way (in PS 7) to force imported images to automatically maximize and then enlarge to actual pixel size? When I'm retouching dozens or hundereds of images it gets time consuming and mundane having to manually maximize then ctrl+alt+0 to view as 'actual pixels'. I've read the manual cover to cover and didn't find anything (or I missed it).

Turn White Pixels Into Transparent
This is probably really basic but... I'm a printer and only really use Photoshop for changing RGB to CMYK, clear cutting (with Vertus fluid mask) and things like that. However a lot of the photos I have to clear cut have been done already but not saved (or given to me to use) with the transparency still there. Is there some easy way to turn all the white pixels into transparency? Obviously you'd have to mask any white pixels in the image you wanted to keep. A sample is attached.

Creating A Vector From Selected Pixels
I have drawn a vector shape and want to apply 4 colours to it. I have drawn 4 squares with the colours I want and then merged the layers so it becomes 1. I then "selected the pixels" on my shape and cut out that shape from the 4 squares of colour i created. However, when I resize my shape, it blurs as it is not vector anymore. Is there a way to do acheive the above but keep the shape a vector?

Calculating Average Color Of Pixels
I need to analyze an image and read the value of each pixel, exclude the highest and lowest values (perhaps anything less than 10,10,10 and greater than 245,245,245) , then average the remaining. I may need to do this on each channel of RGB. I can almost get a result blurring the sample and then using a large brush with the info tool, but is there any other method more direct and all inclusive?

Objects In Photoshop Jump Pixels When
I was wondering if someone could help me with something that is really starting to annoy me. When I'm moving objects in Photoshop, I find that they sometimes "jump" across pixels when I'm moving them. For example, lets say I've got an image and I've zoomed in so that each pixel is shown as a large square. The rightmost edge of the image is on column 1 (bear with me). Each column is 1 pixel wide. So it would look like 1 2 3 etc. The rightmost pixel of my image is on column 1, and I want to move it to the right so that it is lined up on column 2. I move my image to the right, but it doesn't land on column 2 at all and skips it, to end up on column 3. So I move it left and it again jumps column 2 and ends up back on column 1. I hope this makes sense. I've experienced this on Photoshop 7 and CS2, on 3 different computers. I used to experience something like this in Microsoft WORD during IT classes at school years ago. We had to go into a menu and uncheck something to do with grids, but I can't remember exactly what to do, and I can't find anything that looks familiar in the Photoshop menus. I really hope this makes sense to someone, because it gets incredibly annoying when I'm trying to be precise. Sometimes zooming in to 400/500% stops it, and everything moves smoothly, but it doesn't work all the time. It doesn't always "jump" one pixel either. Sometimes the "jump" can be 3 or 4 pixels wide.

Using Pixels Instead Of Inches When Recording An Action?
I have recorded an action that will automatically place a logo in the upper left corner of every image. There are 4 steps after pasting the logo onto the image (and before saving it): 1. Align current layer (using: top edges) 2. Align current layer (using: left edges) 3. Set selection (to: none) 4. Move current layer (to: 0.139 inches, 0.139 inches) There are no errors when I use File > Automate > Batch on a large number of pictures. However, the problem I'm encountering is that it has recorded the "move current layer" measurements in inches. Since each picture is a different size, it's moving the logo much farther on some pictures than on others. Is there a way to edit the actions dialog to use pixels when I'm recording an action? Or another alternative way to get it to record the location of the logo so that it's consistent no matter what the size of the picture?

How Do I Meausre The Pixels Of An Irregular Shaped Area?
I have a photo with certain parts of it shaded in green. These shaded in areas are irregular shapes, and are solid. I tried selecting them with the magic wand, and that worked fine, then I went to the info platelet, and it told me it's height and width. However, as I found out, what it does is make's a square around the selected area, and this isn't accurate enough.
