Display Megapixel Count Alongside Image Pixel Dimensions

Lightroom Classic already displays the pixel dimensions of an image, for example 8256 × 5504. Please also automatically display the corresponding total megapixel count beside those dimensions.

For example:

8256 × 5504 — 45.4 MP

More importantly, the megapixel count should update automatically after an image is cropped so the photographer can immediately see how much resolution remains.

This would be particularly useful for photographers evaluating cropped images for large-format printing. Currently, we have to calculate the remaining megapixels ourselves even though Lightroom already has all the information required to make this calculation.

It is a small addition that would make evaluating image resolution and print potential much faster and easier.
