when I'm using the rectangle tool or the marquee selection I get this awesome little 'context' box that shows how big the object I'm drawing is.. but it's on inches. How do I change this to pixels?

    Change the ruler units to pixels by either right clicking on the ruler or going to Edit>Preferences>Units & Rulers

    Thanks R_Kelly this works perfectly!

    One note: the menu is Photoshop > Preferences > Units & Rulers (not edit).
