This is something I always wondered about but never really asked. Say I have a rectangle box, image or other element in photoshop, when I make the desired element active and I check the info panel, The width / height never shows up - Should it?

When you make a selection, the 'Info' panel should show the width (W:) and height (H:) of the selection. It has to be the active selection, though.

Note: The active selection "marching ants" don't show up in the screen capture.

…and you can select the contents of any layer by command+clicking it in the Layers palate. – Sidnicious Sep 23 '09 at 17:52
Thanks Robert, How do I make the active selection, I assume I don't just click it? – Keith Donegan Sep 23 '09 at 17:55
I used the Magic Wand tool but there are other ways, like @SidneySM's suggestion above. – Robert Cartaino♦ Sep 23 '09 at 18:14
