Green user!

Tried Image > Analysis > Count Tool...

I clicked on an image and a cyan number appears where I clicked. The number increments. How do I start over?

Correct answer Barb Binder

With the Count tool active, click Clear in the Options bar to start the count over. If you need multiple counts on a single image, use the folder icon to save the current count, and then it starts over automatically.

    Please take these comments as constructive criticism, but not necessarily of you. It's unclear who was the author of that page.

    In working through your link, "Count objects in an image in Adobe Photoshop"

    I notice a few small omissions that might trip up novices.

    In several places there are instructions like these:

    • "...Choose Analysis > Record Measurements..."
    • "Choose Analysis > Select Data Points > Custom."

    In all cases like this, I think "Analysis" should be "Image > Analysis..."

    Smart novices can detect this trap, but not everybody is a smart novice [anymore]. ;-)


    I'm a user like you and a volunteer on this forum. I don't work for Adobe.

    The link I posted is to a Helpx page—this is Adobe's official online help system, and they are responsible for the content.

    If you have any other questions on the Count tool, feel free to ask.
