Okay, I almost feel silly posting this because it seems like it should be pretty obvious, but I can't find a way to do it.

When you are making a crop in Lightroom, is there a way to see how many megapixels remain in your post-crop image, i.e. the functionality that is in Adobe Camera Raw?

I did find a way to see the actual pixel dimensions of the resulting image through the Loupe Info Overlay, and I am sure I could get used to doing the math, but I really like the ACR feature of having it show how many megapixels remain of your image after you crop, or even while you crop, to help you decide how much you can crop while keeping enough pixels for a workable image.

Hopefully there is a simple answer to this. Thanks.

Under view Options in grid view you can set what information shows around the thumbnail and pixel dimensions is one of the options.
