Crop prefs
I'm trying to change the dimensions display to inches or pixels (currently cm). How do I do that. I've reviewed some of the comments on the topic and I'm either not understanding... or it doesn't work. Capture 21 (Nikon), Mac. TIA

The dimensions you see in the crop tool are connected with at least two things - the units you set in the crop tool, and the currently selected process recipe.
In this case, I am using a process recipe that outputs to 2048 px on the long side. That results in the units drop-down in the crop tool being greyed out, because my recipe specifies a number of pixels. (But 2048 is the number of pixels that will appear in the output file: the "real`" pixel dimensions happen to be 3063 x 3063, but my recipe will down-scale that to 2048 x 2048.)
If I change on the same image and the same crop to a recipe that outputs at 100% scale, then I can use the drop down and choose between px, inches, mm and cm. In this example, I have chosen inches. The number of inches it shows is dependent on the process recipe too: because it is set to 300 px/in (for a 300 dpi printer) the 3063 px translates into 10.21 inches (or 25.94 cm if I choose cm) like this:
But I do get to choose the units with a recipe like that.
Finally, here is the same again with a recipe that aims to print out at 10 inches x 8 inches - the units are greyed out in the crop tool, because they are specified in the process recipe. I could choose cm in the process recipe if I wanted, and then the crop tool would show cm - but in this case as 10 inches x 8 inches is a standard print size it's convenient to me to use inches for this one.
So I hope that makes sense - it is dependent on several factors!
