Finding number of Pixels in a selection

I'm doing a project and need some way to find the number of pixels in a selected area. I need the area of odd shapes so just the measurement tool is only so useful as it just gives me length and width and these shapes are not standard geometric shapes. Is there a way that Photoshop 8 can tell me this info (I don't have the program yet but they say that's what they're giving me. If there isn't an "8" then it's CS)?

It just seems there should be a way...

Thanks,
Tracy

Any time you create a new, it is bny default from the last clipbooard Make your selection Copy it now / file /new from the clipboard, your size is there.

With your selection active, go Image>Histogram.

You´ll see a pixel count.
