P: Allow simple maths in number fields.

So if I want my canvas to be 43px smaller I can basically type 160-43. Or if I want it to be 2.5x bigger I can do 160x2.5.
Any number field can benefit from this. Very often I have to open the calculator to figure out numbers.

    61,98cm is a distance, just like 62cm, just a little shorter. If you are unfamiliar with the meter system, please look it up at a wiki.

    Are you trying to be funny or are you short on politeness?
    The distinction is sometimes difficult in written communication. Edit: At least for me, I guess.

    I wonder why no one from Adobe responded to this topic?

    Ah, like a formula then?

    Like this: (61+98)+(4+11) ?

    I can't make sense of your use of commas otherwise.
    I'm no math major though, haha.

    Hmm, what?

    Are you specifying canvas coordinates?

    Hi! It would be neat if I could just type for example "+4,11" in the "Canvas size" window to add that number to the specific width or height. And that Ps did the math for me. Thanks! /Daniel

    Since I discovered the Illy team included the ability to do math in text fields I've always been disappointed by the fact that PS cannot.

    This would be a big one, gents!
