I don't know how or if it's possible to see the dimensions of a selection area in Photoshop, but what I usually do is I crop the image I want to edit using IrfanView, where you can see the dimensions, and copy the image into Photoshop for editing.

Thank you. I can try that.

Would using the Select tool instead of the Crop tool work for you? You can set the dimensions using the Fixed Size option.

Thank you.
This is a valid work around,
but I still don't get why there is no "style" option for the crop tool similar to the one in select tool. The crop dimensions are set to "ratio" and I haven't found a way to change this style to "fixed size" as it can be done with the select tool.
