Hey Ladies, I have Photoshop Elements 12 and I can't figure out how to change my curser to show the dimensions when cropping anything. I've seen others have a Ht and Width while they are cropping, some also have an X to show the crop. My brother (who has Photoshop) said to change preferences/tools/show transform value to never. However, I do not see those options in PSE 12 preferences. I know it's a little thing but I think it would help me to gauge a size of an element. thanks Julie
I have PSE15 and under preferences I do not have what your brother suggested. Here is a screen shot showing the crop tool active. Does your PSE12 look like this because down the bottom there is a drop down box saying "no restrictions" and if I click on the arrow it gives choices of sizes and if I choose one of those is then displays figures in the W & H boxes which can then be altered.
I just reread your question. Are you wanting to just judge the size of an element or are you cropping something? Do you have the rulers showing on your canvases ( blank pages) ?
@juljul13 Are you using the marquee tool, the move tool, or the actual crop tool? Maybe you need to reset all your tools?
