When I use CS to resize an image, the default size is always presented in inches. Since I’m working in points or pixels, I have to scroll down and change the inches to points and it gets a little tedious. Is there a way to make the default image size dialogue present the document dimensions in points instead of inches?
Give your photos a professional finish with sharpening in Photoshop. Learn to enhance details, create contrast, and prepare your images for print, web, and social media.
Thank you, Ann, for your helpful response to my query. I had initially tried using the preferences but couldn’t get the image size to appear as points, despite the settings. I hadn’t been aware I should control-click the rulers to change the units and I guess I was thrown because I already had the rulers set to points. I appreciate your help and sorry I missed your response the first time.
"Buko," perhaps you could make note of Ann’s constructive response to my issue and withhold comments in the future as little jabs like yours help nobody.
Shame on both of you – people come to these forums for help and advice, not to be told they’re lazy or inept. It seems a query like mine is par for the course on these forums. If this is how you respond to the others, you shouldn’t be here.

If this is your attitude, maybe you should reconsider ever coming back here for help. You have just ticked off the most helpful forum regulars and a lot of the rest of us. Your user ID will be remembered by all of us next time you ask for help.

Thank you all – you know I decided contact the forum comments about this and I’d like to quote another user’s response:
"Photoshop [the forum], for reasons that are not clear to me, has a distinctly snotty and immature group attached to it. This not true of the vast majority of folk there but this ‘gang’ is always ready to pounce on someone they perceive as below their standards"
He couldn’t possibly be referring to any of you, could he?
James PS – I have read the manual and rarely need help. That doesn’t make me an automatic expert, though. That said, I think this may be the first time in years of using Photoshop that I’ve consulted the Photoshop forum for assistance. Can you say the same?
Interesting observation. How about you? What kind of bird do you imagine yourself to be? It would seem that a person who sits safely at his computer terminal making idle threats to someone who probably lives hundreds of miles away can only resemble one kind.
I had already replied to your posts in the Forum Announcements section. Here it goes again:
James Parenti,
I also haven’t had a user threaten to respond to all future posts that I might make with deliberately misinforming responses as Mr. Castañeda did (that, by the way, is totally out of line).
You are full of it!
Plain and simple.
I wrote that your user ID will be remembered, and I meant it. You won’t be getting any help from me –and presumably not from the other users you berated.
From that to accusing me of making threats there’s an abyss that only someone with an IQ lower than that of a slug could overlook.
If Mr. Castañeda and ‘Buko’ and their ilk are fed up with repeated requests for help, then they have a problem and should go …
And don’t presume to give me any advice either. The individual who can tell me where to go hasn’t been born yet.
