How do I select an area with an exact width and height in Photoshop?

Question

I want to select part of a photo I'm editting in Photoshop. This area is exactly 340 x 210. How do I do that with say the select tool?

Answer 1

At the top of your window, there are options when you have the selection tool active. Click the pulldown that says "Style" and select Fixed Size. The Width and Height boxes that were greyed out before will now be available to put your values in, and the tool will only select an area of that size.
