    Resizing layers using pixels instead of percentages in Photoshop

    Rowby Goren Community Member

      Using Photoshop CS5 for the PC.

       

      When I select a layer and look at the info panel, I see that the layer height and width is shown apparently by default in percentages.  Specifically 100% Height and 100% Width.

       

      I would prefer that the Info panel show height and width in Pixels instead of Percentages.

       

      Finally, after seeing the height and width in Pixels I want to change the height by entering the height in pixels. 

       

      How can I do that?

       

      I don't want to use a "ruler" to do this, I just want to be able to enter the pixels (height and width) that I want the layer to b resized.  For example when selecting a rectangle that is currently 100 pixels tall and 50 pixels wide, I want to be able to just change 50 pixels wide by entering (in a field) 25 to make it 25 pixels wide.

       

      In Fireworks I resize by pixels all the time.  But can't find a similar method in Photoshop.
