DPI or PPI during cropping?

Is there a way to get a readout of the PPI or DPI in real time during cropping?

DPI or PPI during cropping?
There is no ppi or dpi until export (well, until print, actually) because there is no ''i'' (inches).

I meant that during cropping, Lightroom would know the dimensions of the crop and the number of pixels within the crop and should be able to calculate the PPI or DPI. i use this while working in bibble to be sure that i do not crop too much and end up with a lower resolution. Is this measurement possible in Lightroom?

LR does not know the dimensions of the crop, only the aspect ratio.

You can get the pixel dimensions during the cropping operation via the info display, if you set it up for that.

via the info display?

Yes. Hit ''I'' and it'll cycle through the options. You can set them up through the view, view options, loupe view preferences panel. Set one of them that you prefer to either cropped dimensions or megapixels.

That leaves me with the division in my head but would do the trick, thank you.

Yes, that shows the info I often need to see when cropping, but shouldn't there be something approaching instant feedback showing latest cropped dimensions (as in Photoshop)? On my Mac G4 1.47GHz (dual processor with 2 Gb RAM), LR seems to require approx 10 seconds before updating the info display to show current cropped dimensions. Is this typical? That's painfully slow feedback and makes cropping to a fixed pixel dimension a very tedious process.

No, that's not typical, it's a bug. I *think* the team is aware of that one. There are mac/PC differences with updating the info display as well.
