I use Photoshop all the time. I love it more than any other image editing/design tool I’m aware of. But something that I’ve always wanted to do, is to specify the block size of a (squared) selection. Often I have a header image or something, and I want a portion of it, say “100px x 75px”, and I always zoom in closely and carefully select the block I want. Sometimes, when I design something, it goes down to the pixel. If my selection is slightly off, a person with a sharp eye would pick up on it. Plus, like any careful designer, I could never live with the fact that it was a pixel off. It would be much more convenient to just specify a squared selection size, then drag the square around the portion that I want, and copy merged. As many things as Photoshop can do, I would be shocked if you coudln’t specify the size of a squared selection. Do you have any thoughts/answers to this? Or is there an alternative solution in another program?
