Is it possible to see the pixel dimensions of an image that I'm working on in Lightroom?

[Ken Nielsen]

I can export an image to work on in another application to reduce noise or whatever, and in that app I can see the pixel dimensions of the image I'm working on, BUT, in Lightroom I do not see the image information to show what the pixel dimensions are. Either it is not possible or more likely, I just don't know where to look to see this information. Since this information is pretty important to me, is there a way to make it show all of the time, like at the bottom of the screen along with the file name etcetera... Thanks For Your Help With This...

[Ken Nielsen]

Thanks for reply, 1.) and 2.) I'm not typing anything regular cursor is free and active, I never use Lights Out at all and so that leaves preferences which I just deleted two weeks ago and it has taken me that entire two weeks to reconstruct all of the behaviors I like to use in Lightroom so I'm not anxious to go through all of that again and btw, my preferences were not corrupt as a part of the problems I was having. All is reconstructed and working beautifully so I want to not mess with preferences again. I notice everyone types a capital 'I' when they tell me this will bring up the info in the develop module...Does that mean I need to type a capital 'I' as in Shift-I to get a capital I in order to see Info? Or, can I just hit the i key?

Just hit the I key. Upper or lowercase doesn't matter.

As for reconstructing the preferences after resetting, take screenshots of all the tabs in the preferences dialog.

This should make the reconstruction a lot easier.

You realize we are referring to the letter I, right? Of course it's necessary to go into the view options (Cttl-J/Cmd-J)\ And configure how you want things displayed. After all it is your Lightroom and it is your workflow. It's all up to you to set it up the way YOU want it to work.

[Ken Nielsen]

Thanks for helping Jim. I hav set nothing up yet for this as I have never used this capability. All I know is I hit the letter 'I' and nothing happens. By default then are you saying it should be Cmd-I?

I not CMD-I

You have to set it up first as @JP Hess said with CMD-J

[Ken Nielsen]

Okay, understood then, I have to 'set it up' so are there YouTube video's on how to set this up? It sounds like I will be fiddling with something that is not a natural part of Lightroom so I hesitate to even try it. If there is a video I can watch to see how to set this up and what I should expect as a result I would rather watch that first. Thanks for input and help everyone here.

Look, this really isn't rocket science. Simply press Cmd-J while you are in the develop module. You will be presented with a dialog where you can specify what will be displayed in two different loupe displays on your screen. You choose what will be displayed on each line. In info 1 you can choose to have it show briefly when the photo changes. At the very top of the dialog box there's a checkbox if you want one of the info displays to show all the time. If you don't, then don't put a checkmark in that box. After you have chosen what you want displayed in the two loupe info displays close the dialog. Now, all that is necessary is to press the letter I. First, the information you have chosen for Info 1 will display. Press the letter I again, the information you chose for loupe info 2 will display. Press the letter I again, and the display will disappear. That's all there is to it. If you don't like the information that is displayed then you can change what you have chosen. Go ahead and experiment with it a little bit. It isn't going to break anything. If you don't get it right the first time then try again until you get it right.

This thread is done and answered to the best I could have imagined really. I've gone into Command-J to set up 'info' and all I wanted was image pixel dimensions and not to have those display in white lettering over the image. So, a bit of a compromise but will definitely work for me and be a help. I did Command J to get to set-up for a key stroke Command-I (works for me as 'Info') and all that is displayed is the simple pixel dimensions which is all I wanted. This works while I'm in 'Develop' module. Shoot, this has taken some convoluted turns and the help here is key to using Lightroom successfully. Yes, I would rather have 'info' displayed of to the menus in the right as a choice, BUT, as it is, INFO is available for pixel dimensions from within Lightroom which means now I don't have to wait until I go into Topaz or some other outside software like Photoshop in order to finally see what my image dimensions are. Thanks to everyone here for amazing patience and focus on the issue I was having. All is well now, tremendous help and THANK YOU.

It's NOT Cmd-I! After you get the info displays set up it's simply pressing the letter I. One simple keystroke!

[Ken Nielsen]

Thank You Jim. I appreciate your help as this will truly be a help to me.

Incorrect! It's right there in the program, it has always been in the program. Its an option that is provided for your benefit if you choose.
