Units of Measurements

One interface feature common in Adobe PageMaker and other Adobe products is the ability to enter a value and the unit of measurement in a dialog box. This feature has been curiously absent from the Adobe Photoshop interface. Fortunately, it is available in Adobe Photoshop 6.0.

For example, in Adobe Photoshop 6.0 you can enter 5 px for 5 pixels, 5 cm for 5 centimeters, 5 pt for 5 points, etc. For those of us who can't calculate measurement conversion in our head, this feature is a huge timesaver. Unfortunately, you still do not have the ability to perform simple math, such as adding 20 pixels to the current value of text field. But we hope that will come soon.
