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?

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 andPixel Dimensions
as its digital representation on the screen. Moreover, if one designs for the screen,Document Size
shouldn't be a concern. Jul 1, 2011 at 17:02 -
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.– user48848Aug 24, 2015 at 18:06

1Kelley, in newer versions of Photoshop, if
Resample
is unchecked then pixels will not be available. You have to checkResample
in order to use pixels.– ScottAug 24, 2015 at 18:12
