Is there a way to see the width to height ratio of pixels in Photoshop? I think I saw it some other day, but I can't find it now.

Something like "2:1 pixel ratio" means that the picture is exactly twice as wide as high. Of course, I could use math to find this thing myself – from the maximum amount of pixel width and height, but I need quick way to find it on loads of pictures.

Using Photoshop CS5.

  • The word your looking for is pixel "Aspect Ratio", look in the VIEW menu. I dont have 5 but they added some aspect stuff since my version. Also seeing it in Image - Image size, is possible if you whip out some math in your head. Also Image - Pixels aspect youtube.com/watch?v=pm3TezWpyoA

  • Sadly the answer is no, as far as I'm aware. Paint Shop Pro used to show you the aspect ratio, IIRC. Dec 11, 2011 at 17:24

In CS5 I'm not sure about it. This is how it works in CS6, possibly in CS5 as well.

Select crop tool. The tool preferences/presets panel will show you a different set of stuff as shown in the picture below.

If you click on the drop down where it says 'Original Ratio', you will see the following options.

This way you can crop to what ratio you wish, however I do not think there's a way of seeing your current ratio.
