I recently updated to Photoshop CS5 and I noticed that "Pixels" is not an option to re-size to. I only see percent, inches, cm, mm, points and picas. I have also made sure that I have set all of my units to pixels in "my preferences". Am I missing something?

Image Size options

In the Image Size option menu, you will not have pixel as a unit in the "Document Size" pane. But the pane above it, "Pixel Dimensions" you have a choice of using px or % as units.

  • In other words: think Document Size as the physical, print size and Pixel Dimensions as its digital representation on the screen. Moreover, if one designs for the screen, Document Size shouldn't be a concern.

  • Nope. This is not true. When I try to change image size, I do not have the option to change the pixel amount. Pixel dimensions are set and cannot be changed.

    Kelley, in newer versions of Photoshop, if Resample is unchecked then pixels will not be available. You have to check Resample in order to use pixels.
